Hi and welcome. Its a nice car that one from what I remember. I saw it at Rotorstock a few years back when it hadn\'t been in the country that long. Im sure you\'ll enjoy owning it as it\'ll certainly draw attention when your pout in it.

It\'s one of my favourite FC\'s other than "Project money pit"
