... It really surprises me that Discovery is still in business after poor delivery performances over the years. It also somewhat surprises me that someone has...
Hi everyone, I was a member a few years back but faded away when I sold my Discovery 12.5". It's sad to see long delivery times are still an issue and perhaps...
