Good on her for not letting her situation hold her back in the slightest!! most girls wouldn't jump in a race car with a stranger!most roads round here are pretty good tbh its just the amount of traffic Wiltshire suffers from that ruins it!! cant beat mid Wales for not being slowed down!! ________________________________________ This site is my mechanical bible, Thank-you everyone!! |

Got to where the hospital is and saw these 2 fitties wanting a lift as they told me they were "stranded" I said before i give you a lift how old are you? 15 she replied at this point my dick disappeared into my stomach and i lectured them on not getting into cars with strangers and then burned off up the road ________________________________________ Team Nile 6Team: 40.2 MPG  5 x a 306 owner! currently abusing type r's in a town near you ™ I truely live for the 306 ® Build date: 29th October 1997 Wednesday's car midweek madness  |
