I heard there's an island somewhere where they still use shells as currancy. Maybe we should all move there.

if someone would produce a air grabber hood for a Superbird i think my original hood would be wrapped up in a blanket and put in the attic. :scratchchin:

ha ha!! that's funny. I'm serious though. Saw it on a doco about a year ago. Apparently it's the Pacific Islands. Value depends on the type of shell.
