02/15/2008 15:46 - So why not use the trunk? Because it has two full size studded spares and all of the required safety and maintance stuff you need for 11 hard days of travel. |
02/15/2008 15:49 - A few rally bits have been added to the Front Office to keep the scores low and the ride comfortable. |
