michael Posted October 1, 2005 Author Share Posted October 1, 2005 Going single? Potentially, just weighing up the options and counting coppers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Loads of coppers round my way lately! Not the sort of coppers you want though. I've been looking at the money situation too. I'm drawing up a plan for all the mods I want to do and when I can afford to do them. First up, a new exhaust so I can put a stop to all the 'Is it an electric car. It makes no noise' comments.
