Bit of a miss-type there there i think sexy-aRSe

We all know that the whole idea of the car is for the members of the Essex RSOC to enjoy a more active role on a track day without having to take their own car on the track

Unfortunatly the car had this 'minor setback' on it's first lap, and 'yes' it was Forrest driving it with Buffy being a passenger, but i think they are BOTH entitled to it considering how much time and effort THEY have put into the project

p.s - I like the seats in your siggy sexy-aRSe
