1800 is really more of a realistic price for engine and a corsa shell,people seem to add a couple fo grand for labour and other fancy parts ect.. lol

most fun experience ive had is in a guysnova that attends meets that i often go to.
gsi nova with an XE running cams, forged pistons, power cap fulll 2.25 system.... and a 150 shot of NOS 
haha tis mentally good. only has the NOS on for 7 second bursts but feels like forever.
Pulls like a train

DG12 is near Annan.
I used to go out with a girl in Thornhill. Used to be up there every night.
The A76 is a great road .
