If in doubt, give the car a full service as soon as you buy it

Removeable silencer too =P I think the theme with this at is...... "F*** it..... That'll do ;)"

Ooooft..... All very tempting =P however.... I'm seting for a correct fitting, none clunking CV joint and a stupidly huge back box =P I mean honestly, it's huge, I can fit my fist inside it!!! Haha

This is true........ *opens eBay app*
