That's really cool and fantastic, and I like it.

Too many "WWY's" to mention on that site!!

As for modding my Saab I have bought a wooden thing that goes round the gear stick thing.

Hope I haven't lost you with all those technical terms.

I believe the correct question is "to torch or not to torch"?
