My 480 bed room :D

Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

Nice pics looks like a good project. I like the idea that you combined the two cars! MX-5 and Spitfire I mean

Charger looks like an E45 to me..or maybe bigger?? With BMW Mini bypass valve...??) Just guessing

edit: Eaton M45 I meant)
