The car looks great Glenn!!! I really like that color too. I don't know that I've ever seen an FC that color when the paint was in good shape. Very sharp!! I'll be looking forward to seeing it in person.

Yeah i gues i'm part of that club who has flipped their 7.. but anyhow, i was driving in the backroads (should i stop the story here? haha) and long story short, i was hitting 90 in the long sweeping bend and i slammed on brake not too hard but pretty gently, but unfortunately when i was turning just a bit and braking i when over a patch of big ******* dirt and pebbles on the road and i spun out and slid into a dirt canal and fliped in onto its side ( not all the way over but just on its right side. yes i'm stupid and i'll admit that, now i'm sticking to the tracks

Yeah the Tornado Silver is awesome, it was either Tornado or Brilliant black but i saw a FC with the Tornado Silver, and i just thought that color is rare to see, cause mostly we all mostly see is brillant black, blaze red, noble white or arctic silver. so i decided why the hell not. Tornado it is.
