    265 Express.. Time for a color change

    "Rosstafari" a year in review

    Not happy with my shrink wrap job

    that may be one of the worst shrink jobs i have seen. you should have not paid and demanded he re did it. Also you should make him buff out the hull for free for the way he put the banding right on the hull
