Sounds just like a car out of Car Heaven to me !

Any pics of your current or previous cars are welcome along with any cool pics of Europe you might have (since you say you've moved around a lot).


I'm originally Romanian, born and bred in Bucharest.

Don't ask of pics from Europe, I have over 6000 from last year only ! ( I'm the type that clicks at the camera until the poor thing can't click no more! )
Sure then , I'll post some pics of the Clio I I'm working on from time to time, to surprise someone, apparently you guys say that's worth a photo too :lol:

Thanks for the wlecome !

It's not that great back home right now, due to all the economical and financial trouble but what I miss a lot is the wide open roads. All rest of Europe is pretty urbanized, there are houses and properties everywhere, but back home you still have tose back roads and highways where you can just go and go and go and see nothing and anyone for the longest time.

It's worth the read. Chuck Palahniuk is a great author.

Pretty much everything else that came out, but I didn't find the message as being as powerful as it was in Fight Club. But then again, Fight Club brings, for me, as million other small messages so I might just be over analyzing it :lol: I still consider him one of the top writers of our time either way.

I know Lullaby seemed like he was trying to grapple the position of the character a little too much but something in the lines spoke to me.
However, Invisible Monsters is my second favorite. Then comes Survivor and then Choke.
