Chris you need to buy something Japanese. It's shocking how much trouble you're having.. I still have that engine sat here in the workshop but i've got to be honest, i'm f*cking bricking it over selling to you! ________________________________________ mechanical_repairs wrote: i feel like giving her a good dry bumming session. |
