[Jaime S.]

I would have killed my mum if she sold a HQ SS behind my back!

JESUS MATE! That would be worth a shitload of money these days!

Worth a lot when it comes to picking up chicks too...

Cheers,
Jaime S.

[MYSS94]

OK Jamie
-----------------------

Anyway
I've only had 3 cars

VK SL 202 Carb
VK Berlina 304 - That thing was too Low!!!!!!
VR SS - I love her!

I tend to hang onto my cars for a while.

[gsmrobinson]

Was pissed with her for years over the HQ SS, and I mean years!!! Was real pissed when I found out she got less for the whole car than I could have got just for the ID plates. Then I never got the money either.........
........and as for the chicks you would not believe it but the charade did a better job of picking them up.......they thought it was well quaint or some shit like that.!!
