Man, awesome car. Went on a cruise with Gav and matt unfortunatley joining us. As soon as I saw the car go past where he was picking me up from I was drooling. Sexy car. Drives awesome, sounds awesome, DoSeZ awesome. Great all round car. You shouldnt be selling it man. P.s, just joking matt, you know I want to stroke you baby.

Just wondering - do the plates go with it? They'd be worth a little something on they're own! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
