these where its at now are 3 old council garages across the road from the mothers i sorta took them over when aspire brought the land and never took responsibility for the upkeep ect... there great but due to legal reasons i can not do anything with them just yet, so its now been moved to mine and the missus new pad, but the garage is bigger and possibility of a nice long carport to join on :cool:

yeh the loons awesome, only had it around 6 month, needed a bit of a clean up and a set of coilies to bring it back to earth lol.... still lost for wheels i change my mind every day :confused:
i was going gauge interest for a sale with it but, i love having it a round. me CDX cav does all the big miles :d

I bought and painted sr steels but due to having to run spacers for the big brakes im thinking of going for somthing else but i want to be different and am thinking of renault turbines. I want a bigger garage but its finding one up here without a holey azzy roof plus the one ive got can bee seen from my house so it helps me sleep better being able to keep an eye on it and the nova just squeezes in now so i cant complain realy
