thanks jon, at the end of the day we can all slag SE nissan off and call peoples cars, but these people are the forefathers of s12 mods and tuning,i've had good laughs with den, ken and bob at jae billing 2002, we put about 200 bear bottles in biggus'es tent along with about 50 chicken bones and left a hose pipe running, now that was fun. all was done in good fun.
