Donating to Evilution
All Donations Are Greatly Received

Well, you see this sort of page cropping up everywhere nowadays and I was looking to pack the site out a bit so I thought "sod it, why not"? I don't drink (except a few over Christmas), I don't smoke (unless I'm careless with the welder) so any donation won't be spent on crap. Most of the cash will either go to paying for the hosting which isn't really that much (refreshing to hear that isn't it?) or it will be spent on things for one of the team.s cars. What ever is bought, the site will benefit from the information

I don't expect you to donate to this site. Although I do it for the thanks, please remember that "thanks" doesn't pay the bills. If you donate, you can advertise your company, have a link to a picture of your car etc, pretty much anything as long as it.s clean and tasteful.

Donating To Evilution

Click the button, fill out the amount you want to donate, type in your message and click send. Giving your money away to an unknown person has never been easier.


Please note, by donating to www.evilution.co.uk you do not own any part of the site, my soul, my car or power tools I own. Oh and I won't drive to your house and fix your car/striptease/fix your plumbing etc.

Cheers,
Kane.

Thanks for the help".
