That machine (a supernova) was one of the smoothest machines I've ever had. I bought a Julia a few months ago and it's a great machine too. On the other side, Amelia's supernova was a real piece of crap, due to total lack of maintenance. They just need to be looked after and they'll look after you. So smooth.
