Me to Rob, and after heated discussion with my parents toight i may have to break it and get rid of it as they're sick and tired of the fact it sits there in the garage not moving where i cant finish it and they're saying its gotta be gone by April. So i may aswell quit now and sell it off as things like sorting out the brakes etc are gonna cause me hassle and a shit load of money i imagine.
