Re: Thunderbird - BMW R1200 Engine
Air Hog, dit is vir my n bietjie moeilik om te verstaan .............die mense wat moet "besluit" of hierdie conversion "kan werk" , is heel moontlik self nie eens in staat om so n conversion te kan doen Nou terwyl "hulle" kop of gat daarvan probeer maak , moet jy nou net geduldig sit en wag
Sterkte my vriend.....sterkte!!
