My prep started this morning. I picked up the GTS with new clutch.

May look at some sort of adornment to it's paintwork.

Although I doubt I'll have time to do it!

I was thinking of running a book on what will break on Bennys car this year

Sheering wheel bolts - 100/1

Exploding battery -500/1

Clutch - 3/1

Collaping or snapped
suspension arms and or ball joints -5/1

Tortured engine checking out
in a big way - 5/1

Gear box actuator stuck in one gear
all the way there - 2/1

Wraps the car around
or up the back of something - Betting suspended

Try doing them up to 98 N/M you spud


....Me finally loosing my rag with Benny and knocking two of his teeth out with a ping pong bat and a giant inflatable banana . - highly possible .

all of use having enough of him and dragging him out of bed and throwing him in the pool and messing up his comb-over - a forgone conclusion !

Might see you there guys. I'm taking the quattrofrommagio and It's going to get some slightly so so Martini Stripes etc.

I tried to get them to do it like the 155DTM car but it was turning into an expensive nightmare to make it fit.

So if you see a Giulia with Martini stripes, chances are it's me!
