And man, am I loving "Brutus" evil


















Blue pearl, medium tints and 20" Audi A8 style wheels. AMD chip and a ring sticker for his rump to follow and I'll be happy. Really pleased with the car though. Just over 32MPG so far and oodles of torque!

Yeah, it was a present to myself for when I got the Murci to put it on. Something for the kids when I go to the big car park in the sky.

I need to update my profile. Not anymore I'm afraid... Having to take a break from the silly cars for a year or two. Only me, "Brutus" and "Betty" now (my £900 Pug 106 piece of crap)

Never mind, at least selling the Murci hasn't made you lose it and start naming all your cars... oh wait....

Phwoar that's nice great colour and wheels.I wish they did an interior natural wood finish like on the latest 7 series would make it perfect. I tried to get my dad to buy one but he hates saloons!Should be a monster after the remap!

Dunno TBH...

Was toying with a 360 Spider again. Then a Gallardo... and today I woke up fancying a GT3RS as I've never had a Porker...

I don't know yet, we'll see next year. Too many cars, not enough money!!!

What are you doing know after 'The Apprentice'? Did you give up your job to go on it or take an 'extended' holiday? Looks like a cruiser that! You could go miles cruising at 120plus tis niceee.

Tuan looks nice mate, get the chip done! And some great photo's too, you look skilled with the lens. Got any evening shots of Michelle?!!!!


Sorry.

I raced, well rolled on, out of a 40 limit on roadworks of the M6 next to a Toe'rag V10 with an AMD badge. And well, lets just say I gave up trying to preserve my dignity at 130 and he was seven or more car lengths ahead of my 380hp Scooby at the time!
