Nah, I've bought a Ve8 now. I've got some mods and stuff lined up already though. I'm picking it up tomorrow - got it, lightened outdrives, an 18T pinion and the aluminium chassis skids for £240 GBP (about $400 - which is good over here - retail is £299.99, or $500)
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
