No hes from Wrexham, Gresford way. He stil deciding on a colour at the moment, but isnt majorly fussed as he said the attention it gets is unreal, his words were "a guy stopped at the traffic lights on gresford roundabout askin about it, how often does that happen? i went to tweeks to buy some bits, people flocked out of the office to see it, one guy brought a camera to take photos ffs. so like i said, im forever in your debt for helping with this project but now its time to kick arse and blow some diffs and boxes..
