Hi, as long as they are being built to order, may I have the diesel engine with full manual transmission please. Willing to pay extra. Mud flaps would be nice too. What's the deal with the chickens ?, I only have ducks, not in a very good line, 2 of them don't drive too good, they used to have SUV's
