Had a little look under the blanket at this a few months back. Seen the truck a good few times in primer but the paint really makes it stand out now. Gives it a lot more "attitude" :)

Cool glad you're on it. Let me know if you want to borrow that pumpkin.
I went round a couple of times at the end of the night and managed a 12.007
then outta nowhere came the 11.899 !!!!!
perfect end to the weekend.:D

well apart from the clown outfit supplied by Roy Tunnocks which apparently is mandatory bar attire for the evening for the winner. I'm sure photos will follow.
