Lol well I'm obviously wrong! I think I might be on about josh-hocking! His posting just annoyed me! Would look very smart with some smoked headlights :cool:

Oh and a thing about not wanting to go sidewards, I was the same way untill my car decided to do it by itself on black ice :cry: so keep vigilant! Best of luck!
