Wonder how long it'll take to lock this thread. I mean, if Voldemort is back, does that mean we're all going to die?

ps - thanks for the heads up!

Saw this car today at AutoWave. Very impressive. If looks account for anything, then I'd say that beast will break 9s without breaking a sweat.
The shop is first class too. Nice eye candy everywhere.

Oh dear... I already got a strike posted against me. Unless you already have one strike you should be ok. I believe the site guidelines go on a two strike rule...

Shop was a very interesting place, guess they don't like it when you break out front though. Wanted to change a fellow mechanic to borrow a tool to check out a possible issue. So much for honor amoung theives.
