decent paint work - Check!
matching rims -check
well fitted body kit -Check
not overly stickeres or riced -check

Ride height is the only thing to change...

Seen lots more p platers driving crapper cars than this..

jeez some people are hard to please
There's far worse out there or people are running out of fails to post.

You are allowed to jump your car off a railway embankment as long as you let Air Traffic Control know you are going to do it.

Here's my own effort from today. New tyre fitted yesterday, had to drive on it to get to some half decent ground to jack it on.

Oh, and that old Landcruiser in the middle...he purposely built it to be a pig like that, and now seems surprised when he keeps getting defected...
