If you're in trouble he will save the day. He's brave and he's fearless, come what may. Without him the mission would go astray. He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer. Without him life would be much grimmer. He's handsome, trim, and no-one slimmer. He will never need a zimmer.

[@SubZ3ro907]

I used to love building hard core gaming PCs and playing online. I naturally gravitated toward a job in the I.T. industry. I found that that after messing with them all day at work, the joy of doing it as a hobby had disappeared. I would hate for that to happen with the enjoyment I get from my RCs. So I totally understand about taking time with the build. Thanks for the great content.

[@MrGoldmember2]

I can hear the passion in your voice when you talked about your friend. The pride in your voice when you accomplished his dream with his car. What a moment for you and Lenny. Congratulations bro. ❤
