[TW]Fox · 12 May 2007 at 19:49

Top car, top bloke, even Lopez was impressed and he hates Golfs.

Amazing

tonyyeb · 12 May 2007 at 19:56

Great stuff! But i thought it would rev more than 5000rpm? Or am I being simple?

adam cool dude · 12 May 2007 at 19:59

Only just read this but what you did was just amazing. Wish i had the skills to do something like that. People pay footballers tens of thousands of pounds for doing nothing. People like you should get thier wages ^_^.
