    Agreed. Rather respond to one of those spam emails offering your member an 'enhancement' for 9.99 and do something useful with the extra cash.

    so it has to be big black, three pointed star on the bonnet, I would make do with any AMG models but really it would need to be Brabus and not a car with stick on badges and an exhaust system a properly tuned one and lets not forget the drug dealer windows

    You got me. City cutbacks and all that. Need the garage space too. As the hardtops come free with the car, there isnt really much demand.

    Yes, it is imported.

    Much better than UK one though, has aircon, power steering, electric windows, and ABS. Not bad technology from 1991!
