It's a review done by septics, so it doesn't count.

Any piece of journalism that contains the phrase "It's a cold-cock wallop for the BMW" deserves derision.

I passed a GTR today.

the owner was eyeing up my car so i flashed him.he never flashed back.

i think doing that invalidates the warranty.
