Had it to ~230km/h. Was a real handful on 13" wheels & had the aerodynamics of a fridge!

Yo Resin & mAJORD! Long time no see. Have to catch up sometime.

I lost all my good footage of my HD a little while ago, this was all I had so thought I'd throw it up. If you know how to replace a platter on a WD10EACS, let me know!
