Is D&G Dolce and Gabbana? Does it come with a handbag for the lady?

I reckon the Byers mount could swing my FL102 pretty accurately... probably even WAY out of balance

priced ridiculously, he may be right you cant buy the mount anymore but 150k would buy you a similar setup

With $795K, I am sure Takahashi would build you what you want, with mount to suit.
