with lockdown and everything going on at this moment I have pushed back plans of new car till next year but I’m currently looks at either a new m5 or a Alfa romeo giulia quadrifoligo. in the ideal world I would love to keep this and keep it as my project car whilst also still buying one of the cars mentioned but at the moment that doesn’t look likely!
i will keep you guys updated on what happens next
