Arrow 05CGM's...well...05 CGM! ***I've been blogged! Thanks to T3h Clap***

I have decided to create one of these now that I have had the car a little over a year now. This is the most amazing and fun car I have ever owned. I came over from the Honda camp and actually still have my last project car. I was mainly into shows for the last 8-9 years and would attend race events with buddies here and there. I have learned quite a bit about this car from everyone here would like to say thanks. Especially to the guys who offer their services (Esemes, Essteaeye), guys like stigsxr1235 for organizing all of the recent GB's, Nivek for the downpipe and Ben for the ride in the blue beast! I have decided to try another approach to building a car (function over form) but I still get the itch to try to make it look good . Oh well, here is my attempt at both, hope you like:
