Just passing along a thread I read on another forum. Dinan is looking for one of these to do some tuning on so if anyone is in the area hit them up. Maybe get yourself some free goodies. developmentcars@dinancars.com
not affiliated just passing it along

I can't believe how long they have been looking for a car without success. I would have jumped on that in a heartbeat if I was anything less than like 4 hours away.
