he was going for tests every 6 months when he had his last test they said that secondry cancers have kick in which was basically eating him away theres was nothing they could do .

hi mark

its not so much about the money just want to get rid of them too fund his kids

the yellow one is a minter car and they are all roughly 270bhp i think 1 of them has a gunship (nms) chip in it

they pull as good as a 330bhp cossy if not faster

Unfortunate circumstances to be selling such lovely cars

I would love the blue one but would require selling the 3-series first and i'm sure it'd be long gone by then.
