He even bought a Spider for his son many moons ago. I think he still has it, Novacabrio will know for sure.

No it isn't, but I emailed him when I bought it, he had a FTM on the fleet, but not mine

There is a post on the Sport section with all the numbers.

A really nice Guy!;)

*Cough* 16th *cough*

*Cough* You live in County Durham *Cough*. If you like football or not, Sunderland are the local team of your area.

The season is young, placement means nothing really at this stage. Although it isn't looking too promising I admit!


Lewi, it's bad enough theplace has a **** city centre, but not it looks like SAFC are regressing too! FFS! lol


Anyway, the thing I most struggle with on this thread is how the **** didn't Edd know who Russ Swift is?!

If not for Sunderland being the top team in the North East now, it would still be more like 70/30 barcode turncoat scummers.

Turned their backs on their local team when Sky invented PL football and Keeeeegannn joined the circus. 100% fact.

**** on topic, this thread has served it's purpose. Let it live a new life. PNG must be the only car forum around where the majority of the members don't like footy.

Guess you really are gay. :d

Seen Russ few times. One at the Glasgow motor show while I was at college. Then at a show in Lanark.

I do enjoy watching the displays he does. He sure doesn't mess about with a car lol.

History. Learn it.

Football didn't start with Sky Sports/the Prem FFS.

Love that RS1600. Russ looks well chuffed with it. :)
