Are you tired of spending your hard-earned credits booking passage on noisy and uncomfortable inter-planetary public transportation? "Boy, am (...)

| | | | | (...) Hello !! Great Idea !! Very Interesting concepts !! The OLD Colours ? The NEW Colours ? Let's find a way to match everything in the end or the beginning. Thanks, Teunis. (20 years ago, 27-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | (...) Bwahahaa! That is amazing...I love it! When the 'blooooop!' slide came up, I literally laughed out loud and almost blew my work cover. What I love the most about this is that it's such a simple and fun idea that is truly 'thinking outside the (...) (20 years ago, 27-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Cool, I'm glad you like the cargo sloop! It really just started out as simple grey platform with a railing to test the dimensions of the inside of the can, but after a while it became a MOC of it's own. And, I just had to sneak some Bionicle (...) (20 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | Wow! those lids can be used. By the way, that is a really complex thing that you have put together there. Really cool, really funny. I am amazed that you were able to think this up, those parts all together, I'm babbling 'cause it boggles my mind. (...) (20 years ago, 27-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

If stood on end and used as a base, the lid can have bricks attached directly to it, (...) (20 years ago, 27-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I think I had about 50 of them already when KB dropped the price to $1 each, so I (...) (20 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I tried using Goo Gone and some other citrus-type remover, but I noticed the they often clouded the clear canisters up (I'm guessing that the citric acid in the remover eats away at the plastic surface slightly). The way I do it now leaves the (...) (20 years ago, 29-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

I do (by hand with a tiny amount of dish soap, though glass-cleaner will also work) because I don't like the slick oily feel, but I know that citrus-based cleaners will cloud the surface of ABS over (...)

In fact I didn't even recognize what the hubcap was (...) (20 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.space)
