nice
I prefer the look of the 359 but not much chioce in this country, have looked a few times in the us for a 359 or w900 but there a lots of working cheap tatty ones but a nice show truck are still $$$$ over there + lots of hassle getting one registered in this country, so spotted this over the weekened and had to have it
Dont know why
Dont know what for
Dont know what ill do with it
:lol:
