i tend not to think of it as something you build to destroy

With the way I construct them, you have to think like this! lol.
No, all I ment was, theres no point entering something that you're not 100% fine with getting totally trashed, cos it can happen. You've gotta prepare for the worst.
I like losing well as much as winning. Love fighting Pete's spinners and that.

The ones im building are ?40 each. Thats not bad considering you lot are spending ?100 quid on each. No offence.

Well if you put ?100 into a ant you'll see the benefits. Most expensive ants are usually good.

I think i have proberly spent a fair bit, although like most ant builders i tend to ignore the price and just get what i need. The only thing i have bought for this aws is a new valve for anticipation which is amazing by my standards. Although i have new bits planned

well Anto XP1HP came very close to costing ?400 on its own, since aws8 i've spent about ?50 on every new ant i've built and about ?100 on the first few antos. but someone mentioned ?500 on a heavy, well I'm on the 3rd version of Tanto and 2nd version of TX-108 my other heavy, plus the 3 previous heavys i built. if ur really trying to compare costthe newest version of Tanto which is nearly 18moths old now has cost in the reigon of ?5000 and he is being retired soon for the new version to replace her. thats just version 3 btw not including the 2 others.

its not a cheap sport but i've not had this much fun since found out the explosive properties of Dr Pepper

Tanto is multi-gender is it Craig?

That comment about fun sums it up for me perfectly
