Title: messing about on the river
Post by: the loon on March 13, 2005, 18:39:36
Just been out in my SIII. Found a ford thats only about 5 miles from my house that never knew was there

Its not mud but its still fun
Can load pictures here as too big but was the best under body wash the money pits had in a while

just found the image resizer who ever put that in should be heaped in praise

Makes me feeel a little better about having to spend out cash on my repairs hearing about those evo's anyway
