Once again a great review from our most important member, thanks Rob Ken

Wow that is indeed a stunner, I could go for one of these very easily, may I ask what this one put you back? Ken

Of course this man is quite insane Ken

That will be great Pugs..............as long as there is no sea elephants or buckets in it Ken

I would be very cautious of this auction (1) Very bad pics (2) Low feedback (3) All his other sales are bike bits. Ken

Hey gang how about a little interest here, a little love goes a long way Ken

You should invite him to one of our GTG's Ken

Sorry Timm that line was meant to explain that those that are already VIP don't qualify, but then we are looking at a VIP only event too, just to keep it fair Ken

Actually I quite like it, maybe not enough to go and drop $950 on one but I like it none-the-less. Ken

Hi If you have been gone for a while you would not realise that our site has ungone a major upgrade and although the upgrade gave us many great new things one of the side effects was to scrap everyones friends list, unfortunately this means you have to build it up again but rest assured that we all had to do this.

Billy Thorpe, singer, songwriter, guitarist and one of the most influential figures in the Aussie rock scene, died in Sydney on Feb. 28 of a heart attack. He was 60. Thorpe was born in England but migrated with his family to Oz in the 1950s where he started performing in bands from the age of 10. In the 1960s, he came to prominence as a teen idol with hits such as a cover of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," which bowed at No. 1 on the charts in 1964. Later that year he formed a band that would define his style and change Australian music. Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs helped propel the young singer-songwriter to fame as the country's biggest pop act, winning every kudo the Oz music industry had to offer. Thorpe even got his own television show, "It's All Happening," on Seven Network, that showcased the Aztecs as the house band. The Aztecs' first major hit was their cover version of "Poison Ivy," which was best known for knocking the Beatles from the top of the charts in 1964 -- they also drew bigger live crowds than the Fab Four Down Under -- but by 1968 it was all over and the band split. Influenced by Australian guitar legend Lobby Loyde, Thorpe reformed the Aztecs soon after with Loyde on lead guitar but it was with a new sound. Out went the band's pop past -- Thorpe now played down-and-dirty blues-based rock, a style that would come to define Australian pub rock throughout the '70s, '80s and '90s and influenced internationally successful bands such as Midnight Oil. Known for their high energy live sets and loud performance -- legend has it one gig smashed the windows of nearby houses -- the band's peak came with performances at the Sunbury music festival in 1972-73, which spawned the hit album "Aztecs Live! At Sunbury." The album bowed the song "Most People I Know (Think That I'm Crazy)," which turned out to be Thorpe's signature tune and an enduring rock classic, though it only reached No. 3 at the time. In November 1973 the Aztecs were the first rock band to perform at the Sydney Opera House. At the height of their fame in 1976, Thorpe moved to Los Angeles where he worked as a session musician and produced a rock opera "Children of the Sun," which reached top 20 in the American charts. He released three more albums in the States before a career shift that saw him establish a recording studio in L.A., where he scored soundtracks for skeins such as "Columbo," "Star Trek" and laffer "Eight Is Enough." Thorpe's popularity endured back home and in 1991 he was inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Assn. Hall of Fame. The same year he also joined forces with Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist Kenny Gradney from Little Feat to form a band called the Zoo. Thorpe remained a passionate supporter, and critic, of Australia's live music scene, which has faded in recent times. In 2002, he launched a hugely successful national tour featuring some of the biggest names in Australian music of the previous three decades, based on an ABC docu about the industry called "It's a Long Way to the Top." Tour played stadiums and sellout crowds. It was the first time that Thorpe had played with the original Aztecs in 30 years and he continued touring solo until his death. Thorpe is survived by his wife, Lynne, and two daughters. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Billy was undoubtably one of the leaders in the Aussie rock scene and was still performing up to shortly before his death. Rest In Peace Billy !946 - 2007 Heaven get ready for the lock up your angels tour.

And of course this is correct these clubs will come from the factories that make the genuine items, the seller has also offered to allow my customers to buy one club to check the quality before buying the set. And yes this is now offically a go, I just need time to organise the sales I need to put up for these and you will all find them on 'Bergies Belts' Cheers Ken

Really? The best way for me to drop 6 - 7 shots off my game is to start at the first hole Ken

Well no But if you like I can arrange a good reaming from the club proffessional. Ken

Ok I am really sorely tempred to run with this after last night when I received confirmation from the supplier that should anyones goods get held by customs he will re-send. Just a little more checking out and I may add some to my sales. Ken

I once lost 120lbs of ugly fat................................................gee I'm glad I got out of that relationship Ken

err...........................Big Pig's Ken

I have a JLC world time a total fantasy but in my eyes a beautiful watch, hence why I bought it. But both Reg and Neil still sell the cricket have you asked them? Ken

Shipping cost via EMS is $175 as stated on TRC this means I could deliver a full set of Callaway Big Bertha woods and irons plus the tour bag for around $800 and that's a big saving. Ken

I'm going to go way out on a limb here and say 'It looks like a J12 on rubber' Ken

Agreed, for instance is that a lether or rubber strap? Ken

I don't think he has Nike Joe, but there is a lot of foot work to go before I can offer these I just want to see if there is interest before comitting myself to the task. Ken

Just thought I would point out that Reg has the cricket for sale now as well. Ken

Flo.................shuddup..............................please Ken

Great collection and great display, very nice indeed. Ken
