So people were arriving for the party, and I noticed someone in a van backing onto my lawn. I wasn't expecting anyone in a van, except maybe my tree surgeon who is due round some time soon, and I assumed it must be him...

Then someone said that everyone was needed outside, and honest to Goat, I thought that maybe it WAS the tree surgeon and he was going to chop down a branch over the house, so we all had to get out...

I was completely clueless.

Even when K got out of the van, I just thought "oh, K's car must be having problems, and he's borrowed a van or something". No idea. No fucking idea at all.

Even when K said there was a surprise in the back for me, I didn't have a fucking clue.

When I looked in the back and saw what appeared to be something *impossible* - what appeared to be a brand new Tempest machine in absolutely perfect condition - I didn't know why it was there or what was going on...

Then they told me.

8O

I didn't know what to say. In fact there is video evidence of the fact that for a long time all I could say was "fucking hell". Utterly gobsmacked does not begin to cover how I felt. How I still feel. I've been on the verge of tears several times.

It is a thing of beauty. I have never seen a cab in such gorgeous condition. I never thought I would get to own a Tempest cab again, and to find myself with such a beautiful one, and under such circumstances...

aw..

I am just amazed... I am still completely blown away... I know I often talk about how I love this community, and how much it has brought to my life, but the fact that you guys would do such a wonderful thing for me, and in memory of my dear Floss...

You utter bunch of cunts... you complete load of mad, fucking lovely cunts... you've made a Yak very happy, and as for it being a surprise, "surprise" doesn't cover it... I was and am completely blown away...

Gah... I really am in tears now...

I don't know how I can ever thank you guys enough for this... just... thank you all, from the bottom of my besty heart... that cab will be getting plenty of lovin' over this weekend and forever after... and every time I play it I'll think of Floss, and of you guys, and the beautiful thing that you've done for me...

Thank you. Thank you all, so much. I'll never forget this, and I'll never forget you, as long as I live.

*MASSIVE FLUFFY HUGS*

- A very surprised, overjoyed, happy and deeply mooved

Ah, the secret mission has completed. Unfortunately I haven't been in the position to contribute :cry: so all I can do is attach my best wishes to you Yak. May the Floss be with you.

Hats off to those who did it. What a brilliant idea 8O :D :!: :!: :!:
