Please Vote For Me?

Hey guys,

I just entered a competition to win a laptop via Swagbucks.  This is a popularity-based contest and I don't stand a chance of winning, but I would appreciate if people could vote for me anyway?  As I am currently using my dad's laptop (and don't get much chance with it to keep up with my homework and emails!), I could really use a laptop of my own! You can vote once per day until April 24th, I think.

I think it's currently on page four but obviously likely to move down in the coming days.

Thank you so much!

Yep, I actually posted the full story on here last year - http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,318879.0.html  I've found out a lot more about the rides since that was posted, but I think that covers the main story.

"Carousel" turned out to be a real carousel horse, made in Germany around 100 years ago.  I believe she was mounted on the coin op base in the '50s, but can't find any photos to prove this.  I have found a couple of old pictures of "Silver" in the 70s and 80s though.  He used to "live" in the amusement arcade opposite Bognor Pier.  There's a lovely old photo of him on the BBC website (five years before I was even born!)  http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday/dblock/GB-492000-96000/picture/3

Sorry, I'm afraid I love to ramble about my horses!   I just wish finding somebody to restore them (at an affordable price) hadn't turned into such a nightmare.
