Joey Thorne Donating Members 33 Member For: 13y 1m 20d Posted 10/01/12 02:17 AM Author Share Posted 10/01/12 02:17 AM tell the truth I went into the car yard with a mate he wanted to buy a car and I was bored and took it for a test drive n took it home a few days later, I knew nothing about the car just really enjoyed the drive and was over my monaro, I dont mind spending some money on the car I would rather keep it manual as the monaro was auto and I always saw that as a mistake,.... so I will get it tuned and somone to go over it and tell me what it has done to it..
