i have the version that also is dubbed into english....... i've seen old porn that was better dubbed tbh, and it really ruins the film, the frog version with words is a better watch...

just been to Etchingham, East Sussex round trip of 356miles, only used 1/4 tank which is £15 lol
What was the choice of clutch/flywheel in the end? Was the dual mass actually he problem in the end? Or was it the friction plate?
General Baxter
28-01-11, 11:08 PM
it was the duel mass, the spring had no spring left in them :)
Bloody nuisance. Still, must be there for a reason.
Did you replace with another dual mass, or opt for single in the end? I know you were thinking about it.
General Baxter
28-01-11, 11:12 PM
