    Thanks for your posts :)

    The color code is "Jarama Black". It is not a deep, piano-like black I'm afraid.

    Savon d'Or is a semi-liquid, gel-like natural soap that our mothers or grandmothers used to wash floors. It is very cheap and if used with a brush on tire sidewalls, gives a very efficient cleaning.

    it already has, they launched a car 2yeasrs ago now i think at meadowbrook, a friend of mine was invited to go. The only thing is the production limit was sold that day. but they have reintroduced the car to the americain market, i guess we just need to wait to actually see them on the roads


    back t o the topic at hand, not job on the car
