Title: I've got 99 problems, but an Affinity isn't one.....

Finally received my persona last week, so I decide to dust off the camera and take a pic of the collection. Didn't realise I've managed to crack the double figure mark though...

From left to right:

*Persona 2.14 - anniversary gift from the wife
*Carbine Pro 2.14 - bought off the forum
*Carbine Sport 2.11 - specially made by Marcus to mark my battle with cancer
*Ayrtek 2.11 - very first Affinity, added the phantom decals after a refurb.
*Spectre 2.12 - bought off eBay
*Ayrtek 2.9 - bought off eBay
*Polaris 2.13 - bought off the forum
*Polaris 2.12 - net/wet weather bat Marcus made for me. Added the Polaris decals. No special shape.
*Toro 2.9 - received as a gift from Marcus. Was supposed to be a prize for competition he ran amongst his #Movember group. Whoever had raised the most donations would receive it, but they all decided that I should get it (absolutely wonderful gesture, and really did cheer me up after a horrible year).
*Toro 2.15 - bought off eBay

Guess it's safe to say I have an affinity for Affinity!

Post by: ilanz_bess on September 23, 2016, 10:59:52 PM: Thanks guys. I really think it's bordering on an obession now. The plan is to whittle down the collection to around five or six. But knowing myself, it may increase by 5 or 6.

@JB if that spectre was around 2.12 it would have been with me as well! Can't wait to see the pics...

Post by: ilanz_bess on October 07, 2016, 10:52:20 AM: Thanks! I am planning to sell some mate, but I don't how feasible it will be to sell on the forum. I live in Trinidad, so postage is going to be an arm and a leg...

I am not that far (south Florida) from you - shipment should be cheaper ;)

Hopefully. Hope the hurricane hasn't caused too much damage there mate. Thankfully Mathew missed us here in Trinidad.
