Hey I like this guy!
HAVE YOU EVER OR DO YOU NOW PLAN ON OWNING A TVR?! (normal question
and
tone from non-TVR drivers)
But I think I have to argue about a stock Tiger being a Cobra in sheeps
clothing. Yes they can go like stink, but not in standard or near
standard
form.
Oh well, ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
