Default BEGi Turbo Crossfire - Final Thread!





It ONLY took 1777 days (4 years, 10 months and 11 days) from start to finish!
Car was just returned and I haven't had a chance to look at it yet but will post here with more info as I get it.
Did go around the block to park it and got tire spin at around 5k in 1st.

Finally my signature is correct!

The Canadian dollar is pretty well tied to the price of oil, much like your own finances. So the dollar should rise again pretty soon.
