There is always room in the budget for having some fun in the cars. $1.30 per liter here.

Re: hellos for scotland

Snap!

I have a yellow 85 iroc with 5.7 too in Edinburgh! Just doing a bit of work to her after a few years of neglect (but driven every summer). Delivery van just approaching with parts... nothing too exciting though.
