Its about time i said hello...

[Josie172cup]

Hi all,

I am now and have been for a few weeks, the proud owner of a tungy 5.

I bought the 5 from Maka on here who is a Top guy.

I have absolutely no idea when it comes to 5s, ask Matt C (i can sense a restraining order coming), but that is half the reason i got one.

I have had a few troubles but nothing i didn't expect from buying a 20 year old track slag.

I have a few ideas for the car but nothing is set in stone

Anyway, for you that haven't seen the car before il put a few quick photos up (hence the quality)

I welcome your critisism and look forward to meeting a few more of you in the not so neer future as i wont be attending nat day due to not finishing work till half 7 saturday morning and im skint anyway










And before everbody else says it i know my number plate is illegal but im pretty stuck for where to put it and any ideas would be great as im sure im not the first person in this situation...

Thanks for taking the time to read this i appreciate it and there will be plenty of questions to come from me. Give Matt a rest...
