Title: I'm the proud new owner of... Post by: Dez on December 01, 2009, 09:50:07 am This beaut! Has been handed round a few times in the last 6 months, but it's staying with me now and having what it's needed for a while...IDA style! Saving for the engine now, so hopefully end of next year :D
I think Pete realised how excited I was with the 12:30am Phone call to Funkenblitz last night :lol: Here are some pics from when Lofty owned it...
