I have a bit of a problem - the majority of M400's I've seen on sale have been in the US of A. I'm in MacUK, specifically Edinburgh, so shipping one across the pond will be financially prohibitive. Therefore, I'd like one that's on this side of the puddle. I know that there are 4 sitting in storage somewhere in Staffordshire, doing nothing, but the owner will want a phenomenal amount of money for them!!! I nearly bought Sigur Ros' M400 when the Tron Bros gave the Forum first refusal. I inquired as to the price, which was within my means, but I couldn't justify it to my missus. There is one member of this forum who has met my wife, so he would probably agree with that.

Nick's right - I wouldn't argue with Sue...
