The best bit is turning up in a £3k Porsche 928 or £7k of tatty
Ferrari Mondial to the local Chav hang out.
 One, your car will have cost heaps less than the modded stuff,

 You will also have a car that weighs half the weight due to
the lack of ICE equipment. :-)
 Why be a flash git when you can be connoisseur. 
How about some NOS Rich?
