I'm actually contemplating the whole Dc5 at the moment

:think:

the car is done, I don't want another battle with the rust and body shop's.

it goes like stink but I want something bit newer

so think its time to move on soon, cant decide what though

or I did consider CRZ

and eventually do a Jackson supercharger on it, they have plug and play engine management and lot newer, cheaper tax

I need to make a damn decision really :lol: :roll:
