Title: RIP Asteroids :'(

I don't use many emoticons, but...

This is wrong.

'What needs shredding' - the new 'will it blend?'

I'd much rather they had picked up the chimp with the camera.

OMG! Sure it is wrong. But they friendly ask to suggest what should be next!
I would like to see the yellow machine in the picture going down the blue one  :cheers: . And see the combination stall in a massive sparkle and screaming metal fiesta!

Their range of portable shredders are pretty cool

But really that is just wrong what they did in that video  :hissy:

Ok, then, how about RIP Tempest?

Sadly, I did this.

I can't imagine no one would've taken that cab in that condition.

If you're talking about the Tempest, I did try to give it away for free on craigslist, but no takers. And the cab had been dropped before I got it and was cracked down the side on both sides. It really was not saveable. You can see both upper corners are missing as well. When I moved it, the back bottom wheel board fell out too.
