Nevermind you being "ballast", i think you need your head seeing to, after seeing him sunday i reckon he's a man on a mission!!
As for dropping by, would like that.. i also need to speak to you about who painted yours, stu says its a top job and i'm hoping to get mine sorted later this year..

Aye, the handsome **** is a man of many talents.. driving is definatly on the list along with engine building and punching/breaking arms hahahaha
spanky went round with him in the saff and declared himself ready to vomit afterwards.. northernphil reached the same conclusion after a lap in his old K plate civic..

Cheers boys. John im on 215s but gonna go 225 rear next time. I love them on saffs and escorts but 3door I'm not so sure there's a texaco car with white ones on and it don't look right IMO.
