Sure is Owin, it's a great source of information and I have made some good internet friends on here. Have you had a chance to look at the pictures of peoples collections? There are some truly amazing machines out there.
I don't have the space to collect unfortunately, although I have owned a lot of machines in my time from second hand recon machines to new. Had a few duds but am lucky enough to own a Miele W1613 now. It will be four years old in October and I still love it as much as the 1st day I got it!
