And I said, Officer, I didn't want to be drunk in public...I wanna be drunk in the bar. Now last time I checked it was still legal to be drunk in the bar. They threw me into public...arrest them!

i had been using mine as a daily driver for 2 years, but now im living literally at the end of the street where i work and have her tucked up nicely in an underground car park away form the weather!!

planning on getting a few things sorted in the next few months, she needs a new a panel on the passengers side after my front left wheel decided to leave the car while in transit!

also need new door skins and get her resprayed!
