If it was British racing green rather than bottle green I might bother to save the paintwork, I haven't actually recieved it yet so maybe it won't look too bad. In all likelihood however I think its going to get repainted. I so wish I had managed to win the previous Kingpin I bid on. The brown looks awesome, unfortunately my internet connection lagged when I tried to counter someones last second sniper bid Anyway my green one cost less than half what that guy ended up paying for the brown.

The wheels I'm gunna use are 406's, easier to get tyres for and without suspension on British roads nice fat tyres are a good idea.
