Excellent choice of ride. The oval dash is sooooo much nicer than the square thing inherited from the toofah in the earlier models. Cup 3's finish it off perfectly too. |

Thanks chaps Its a car i always promised myself i would have. So I'm chuffed to bits at the mo. And i simply cant believe how cheap i got it for  OK it needs some work but £2.5k ;D!! And its FAST. I have driven a standard 220 951 before and was very impressed. This car is in another league!!!! Its hard to get traction on full boost even in the dry. The kick in the back is quite addictive and the speeds i can achieve in a very short space of time is amazing and a little frightening too ;D Fookin love it. |

The last owner paid 7 grand for it in 2002 Said it contributed to the recent end of his marriage so wanted shut of it asap. ("you spend more time and money on that car than you do me" etc etc!! We have all been there I'm sure ;D) So someone else's misery brought me an utter bargain ;D Totally wasted a very tricked up looking scooby tonight and the driver simply gave me the thumbs up and a nod I fookin love this car ;D 22 years old and can still waste the newbies |

An update, of the worst kind. I span the fecker at 70mph+  Hit a wet patch mid bend and simply couldn't regain control once it started to go!! I pirouetted quite a few times(still not sure how many times) hitting the front end on one mud bank and ended up with the back end stuffed up another mud bank  I was very very lucky as i managed to miss dry stone walls either side of the crash site and lots of trees also. The damage isn't that bad considering the speed of the crash but as i said, i was so very very very fecking lucky to not hit a tree or dry stone wall!!!! or another car for that matter as id only just passed a train of cars going the other way. I have damaged the front end, somehow managed to misaline the front headlights(they were down at the time) and dented the spare wheel well and put a crease and dent in the rear lower spoiler. Also i have lots more knocking and vibration than i had before. About a grands worth of damage so I'm told |
