SDQDI Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I've never really seen them before but they look fairly nice. 4 seater with 100 horses doing 120 knots that's not too bad either. Hmm the prices might make up for it they seem to be in euros and still quiet a few of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
