Re: These old rovers ain't bad are they
Granted I am taking a lot of medication for my ill's at the moment and I don't always get the dosage right,
But I would rather have a Brabus Smart for two with £1k of tuning mods, than an Audi R8

Nothing wrong with winding up radders a little... He loves it lol.
Yeah the smart works, and as I said, fair enough it suits his needs and was a cheap buy and economic etc.
Just my expierence of working with them so far doesn't impress, and I do feel silly driving one lol.
As said, it's down to personal choice, please don't take my personal opinion to heart !

When I referred to previous experiences of changing stats I had the T16 in my head. I thought the metro stat was hard to change.....
I don't know why they were getting so defensive - its truly a dog to work on. They're so bad that Ben (bjrespect) was offered the chance to replace the stat for me paid job thru his business and he went all quiet on me
