As a coker owner I can attest to the constant urge to strip down my viking and excals. I take them out when I have time and just look at them trying to figure out what needs to be done to them. Then I just put them up and pull out my aoutocockers. It wouldnt be so hard if I haddnt got my 3- karni's 1- millenium 1- half blocked Rythm and 06 black magic perfectly tuned. Now I have nothing to do.
Oh but wait I still have a spanky fishbone project another ff rythm project a custom milled 2000 ff project and 4 race frames to mill.
Now I have no time or money to play
Seriously, the vikings and excaliburs are awesome markers They are easily as good as my cockers. I may even go as far as to say that I may like my rmod'ed mac noided excal more. I am as loath to part with them as I am my cockers.
If you own autocockers and like to play with them as I do then I highly reccomend getting a Viking or Excalibur for a back up. You will end up loving it.
