Depends on how many times you're going to be able to listen to people say "you do know it's isn't a GT in any shape or form, right?" before going clinically insane.

But they are 6x12
Or I don't know what these are, but maybe they are worth looking at?!

Urrrrrr, I think they may not be the right size, 3 inch wheels may affect the final drive somewhat.

Haha, oh yes, now I see 'Item specifics - Radio Control Vehicles'
I was thinking £15 was a tad reasonable!!

Well a few weeks ago a beam broke in the garage and now theres a pretty noticable dent in my roof, and when I saw it in the morning I was definately annoyed!! So now im just playing with fire..
by the way would help if anyone could tell me if they've had roof dents pulled out by anyone, as when I called up I was told id need to find someone to remove the metal roof rods first before they could do it. Although they said this before looking at it :D

I ordered a set of black stripes for my mayfair, so thanks gonzo for showing me what they're gonna look like. :)

It's a 1275 SPI, so i'm removing the "GT" part and i may use the "T" to make an "i".



The first time anyone says to me, "That ain't a GT", i may get a little cross.....



"Why's your nose bleeding?"

"My nose isn't blee....BLAM!!! Right in the kisser!

... You know how i feel then, when everytime i post a nice picture which has my mini in, wether it to be a question, or for photography.

I get "Nice numberplate". or "lol @ your plate" or "Dont you find your plate embarrassing?"

.... FFS :)

Thanks them for their comment and (if you get to meet them) plant a big slobbery kiss on them before saying, "Oops sorry, i really shouldn't have done that, i have Hepatitis............."

by the way, a lot of photos don't show up on my work censored PC..............What is your plate? :)
