VCF East (link below) is coming up soon, and my original plan was to take the Mini Centurion to VCF with me, but it’s just too slow. VCF is all about the best of the best, so I need to take a genuine Hawk drive with to demonstrate the Centurion in it’s proper glory. In the previous episode we got absolutely rocked, but I’m not one to throw in the towel, so let’s buckle down and get this thing going!
