    Wow!
    Just read the entire thread after clicking your Sig link, and I have to say that my hat is off.
    Wheels are just pure f'ing porn, and the whole build is massively inspirational.
    Makes me think you've become mildly obsessed with 'the process'!

    When did you last drive it?

    It's staying black but going metallic. It's a bmw colour but I forget the name.

    Can't beat a black car :)
