The list;

- Lower
- Exhaust
- Stereo

That's about it. I dont really want to over capitalise in the car, as i won't get it back. I'd rather invest money or buy a house. Having said that, i do enjoy playing around and spending money on cars

Hey Dan - I'll sponser you...

You can do the work and I'll sit back and watch intently - with beer in hand of course...

:P :wink:

Rupewrecht
15-05-2003, 02:03 PM
by saying you'll sponsor me means you're gonna be paying me :p

Trav
15-05-2003, 02:29 PM

I can pay out on you as much as you want, and if you want me to shout, i can shout very loudly :D :P

Rupewrecht
