              Welcome. Glad to see Roland's old car is staying local. Now you need a beater E30 to keep the miles down on it.

                            Hey Erik! Long time no talk man! How've you been! Do you still have the turbo tomato? Last time we chatted you were thinking of changing it up a bit!
