something
I want to have to experience again! My car arrived today from the UK. By the
time I got to the station, they'd begun to take it apart! "Searching for BTL
chips", was their excuse... Had to flash some serious cash before they agreed
to not cut it totally apart... For Chrissake, a custom Lotus Elan 5000! Cut in
half! Oh well, I've got the damn' thing now... Means I can send back the piece
of drek I've had on hire for the past week or so - fragging Eurocar Westwinds...
Give me a Lotus with a Carlton engine under the bonnet, and an IWS personal
armour system anyday, and it'll out-perform anyything you can put up against
it. Does anyone know of a good mechanic who can outfit a vehicle with discreet
hardware? The plods over in England don't take too kindly to cars sporting
weaponry, but I think, seeing as I'm here now, I may as well get it
outfitted... ]<<<<<
