Hi GTA 5 pc story mode modded game play, Sounds like a good show! When outside if there is music KZbin would say its a copywrite infringement and sometimes kills my audio, so based on the Show Promoter sometimes there is music, and some times there is not, and I go to the ones without music, Lou

Race $$. I mske a couple passes . as you see it. I pit under cover. Swap tne intake with,my cross ram Dual quads with 1800 CFM. And. Rin for the big $$$ . Kinda. Cool old School. I have to tell ya.
