My Mom always told me to keep a clean bottom. Oh wait, that was "always wear clean underwear". :lol: :lol: :lol:

Too late, this one's already on it's way to the southern hemisphere. This one came with a hardtop, so it had a white interior. The one without the hardtop comes with a red interior. :cheers:
I was actually planning of repainting this one, but when I did a mock-up with the engine and wheels in place, it looked pretty damn sharp.
