In all honesty I dont know. I was parting with money here there and everywhere and havn't kept track. All I can say is this car has been built no expense spared. To be honest, it has been alot, but the smile it puts on my face everytime I drive it definatly makes up for it. I love it!

It would snap off if your levering back and forwards like an aeroplane! I dont know what you were taught or why you drive like that Steering is done by circle motions mate, not backwards and forwards
