A naughty knob

[cj2013]

dogsbody has a few of the numbered knobs for example

The less said about that the better, IMO:

tl;dr:

Rob: WANTED: Anyone got any numbered gear knobs?
Random forum goer: Yeah, I've got one
Dogsbody: PM sent.

Cheeky. :?

Not too bitter though - how many people do you know that have one of these:

:lol: I was subtly referring to that!

I've got two knobs :-D but certainly not got anything like that one.

What's the story?

A parker ? an actual fracking parker pen? WOO YAY ITS PARKER PEN DAY

What? a gearknob you say oh I see

What's the story?

Bought it off the landlord of a pub - he spotted the Puma outside, said he had something that might interest me; it did, I bought it.

Apparently there are 30 of them in existence, given to people involved with the launch of the Puma - never publicly available. I forget how he got it - some family connection and he ended up with it, it had been knocking about in a drawer for years, he'd just been having a clear out and seeing my Puma jogged his memory. Right place / right time.

Jammy so and so...

How much did he ask?

They're in the garage so I'd have to have a look tbh, think one of them is 531

How much did he ask?

I can't remember. £50 I think.

 

[cj2013]

Sounds suspect.





Be honest, did you do a 'knob for knob' exchange? :?

 

[evilrob]

Yeah, alright - I noshed him off for it. Happy now? :lol:

 

[cj2013]

I think it's better for the forum to have good honest members.... :thumbs:

...even if they do go to excessive lengths to collect memorabilia

Are we back on the subject of Dogsbody again?

 

[cj2013]

No, noshing landlords inkeye:

That incident of yours all happened on the 'other place' though, which seems to be all but dead lately

 

[evilrob]

Hardly a surprise with that sort of behaviour.

 

[cj2013]

Back when I had my first puma in 2009, I went on there and found there was a lot of hostility for some reason, especially when I went to sell a rare puma item, so I went off it.

I do notice that there always seems to be a lot of people 'online' here but not many posts, so extending the jabber a bit

 

[cj2013]

Here's a bit of extra info......

I always wonder why people get rid of them, mustn't have meant much to them :|
