In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team.

Why would you want to? Just more to go wrong and costlier to fix. Springs work just fine and are less prone to failures ;)

try a single malt from the scottish highlands next time, straight off the bottle - no rocks or water totally unadulterated - that's class!
