STs Kept Getting BOOED OFF During Rev Battle!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
MERCH: adamc3046.com
This was the Isle Of Wight Takeover, the day of the actual event, where I was summoned to judge and present the famous rev off, which tends to consist of a bunch of Focus and Fiesta STs. However this year, the crowd had something else to say!
