Default so chuffed at the moment....

i just brought a mk2 frs and wish i had done it earlier, its not the quickist thing in the world but its just so nice to drive.

and funny enough people say they are shit on fuel but already it seems better than my mk1.

so just need to build up my new engine for my escort and then that will be sold.... not needed anymore.

will get some pics up later.

its green, tinted windows, gloss black wheels, leather ect. but standard.... for now lol
