Default New FPV Driver :)

Hi all!
My name is Natasha. I recently purchased my FPV F6 Typhoon BF and i'm loving it
I wasn't exactly sure where I should introduce myself... is here okay? Or should I post in the Show n Shine section?

My car is currently stock, but I have a few mods on the way!

Thanks!

- Natasha

So Natasha, what do your female friends think of it? Are they into Mazda 2s and Fiestas?

Welcome to AFF :-) and congratulations on your new car! They are a joy to drive, even in stock form.

Definitely need to put some pics up in the BA/BF Show and shine.

Like the colour as well, you will definitely be noticed on the streets

Welcome Natasha! My younger sister shares your name!

Awesome car, enjoy it! I think your friends are wrong, it isn't too big at all!

My wife drives my F6 more than I do.... I think she looks hot as hell in it :P

Gets some surprised looks when she pulls up at the lights, especially because she know knows how to drive it like she stole it

Having a bright yellow F6 is defs one of the features I look for in my dream girl.

Love the car and welcome to the forums. Once you check out the build threads you can say bye to all your money.

Welcome Natasha. Awesome car you have and very nice colour. The car won't stay stock for long - be careful once the mod bug bites.

Hearing that you've bought Typhoon makes me miss my old modded 'phoon.
