 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

Yay,adaptorman is back!! ;D Always blown away by your builds-SUPERB

Buying a BMW or a Bentley & looking cool is easy, but the credit doesn't go to you.Taking an unloved car that cost £500 & making it good enough to get photos in magazines or stand out alongside cars that cost one hundred times more is a skill reserved for us loonies! |

Faster. Faster. Until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.
