just waste as little money as possible on it. whack some coilovers on it (keep the old shocks so you can put them back on when you get rid) dont bother with a vento front as ventos are sh!t and a vento front mk3 is even sh!tter (my opinon, scene queens will hate..)

go for a matt camo green!


out of intrest what brewery/pub are you manager of at 19..?

okells, its a isle of man company that have 42 pubs on the island and 5 in the mainland!

Drink it regularly! Prefer the other local brew Bushys mind

As an Okelles pub I doubt that you'd get hold of it.

Have you been to the IoM?

we have diffrent rules than the isle of man, we are only have to have 2 products on all the time okells and carlsberg (not my choice) as carlsberg deliver our okells, so anything else is what we wish to order in.

nope never been but might have to do some relief work this summer over there!
