    Try PMing stevef from the UK section. I know he's pretty hands on with his F512M. It sounds to me like you need to be giving your slut a good seeing to more often....nobody else will get the chance to screw her then ;) Love the car BTW.

    Cheers

    Seems the Aholes who installed Mike Tysons boom box secured it by drilling into the gas tank, obviously Geniuses

    Awe man William, that sucks. I don't think it should be that hard. Drain the remaining gas, disconnect the fuel pumps and fuel lines, remove the bottom retaining bars, and lower it out. Are you planning on tackling the job yourself?

    William, William, William......... come on now. A big time international playboy like you worrying about money. LOL!!!!

    I know what your saying. I don't think it should take more that an hour to get it out. Two hours at the most. Did you get a new tank for it? We don't want the Slutmobile catching fire now.

    I've had good luck repairing tanks, WilliamH..........I dropped a car off ...and onto ....a jackstand once.

    A pipefitter came over and fixed it with some goop they use in the refinieries....that lasted for years until I finally sold the car. It never held as much gas, though.....

    Good luck!

    A big in car hifi centre once fitted a multi play cd in a 355 behind the seats with long screws that penetrated the fuel tank

    I bet when you screw the speakers directly into the gas tank the sound they make will change as the level of fuel gets lower.

    Perhaps if I want to listen to rap my tank should be empty- better base, jazz a half tank and classical a full tank.
