  1. Ha ha ha fuck I wish I can't believe we over looked that. The go pro was the guys from fuel tank tv so I won't see anything till they release there next DVD. Man I'm shattered we didn't now.
     
  2. Here's a pic of the Eldorados letters gettin moved around a bit by various people and the start of our beer bottles next to the car and my award at the show a framed Weesner prints which is oh so nice now back at home on the wall

  23. Cheers mate
     
  24. Had a chat to your hammer bitch thru the week, even droped in and visited the red head bearded people as well. Everyone had a ball. Sorry about Corey but he's not my fault.

    Well done Des and all the guy's involved. Car looked cool inside in the show.

    But the street shoots are where the ride really shines. Still not sure about the beards thought.
