Received mine today and despite lovingly admiring it for 15 minutes I really can't find anything wrong that would categorise it as 'seconds'.

Well done Gecko.

Quality.

....and HUGE thanks to the OP for bringing it to my attention. Top Banana

That's because you were wearing it and looking in the mirror making engine noises...

God no! Let me tell you a story....

One night a couple of years back I was reading the forum and up popped a Sale ad - a member (Sonar) was getting out of ribbing and selling his PAIR of pristine MkXs for £100. What could I do? I REALLY wanted one!

So I phoned donegaldan and he bought 'em both two minutes later. I've not been stuck for a Gecko since....
