Outsiders – Behinds The Scenes At Bee☆R
I was having a discussion with a friend of mine about our dream garages, the cars that would go in them, the tools, ramps, everything. Then I remembered that I never actually posted up a proper look into the Bee*R workshop when we visted it on the Outsiders tour. Now this is easily what I’d […]
