13 years is a long time to own a car - must of been strange changing over!
good luck with the new project though.

Shame to see your EFi Imp go, but best of luck with the Crusader, I know someone who has a 998cc Crusader that bloody flies, and they look much better in the flesh than they do in pictures. Bet it'll be bloody rapid with the EFi in as well. |

Si, Nice purchase, mate!  Your old Imp was one of the cars that has inspired me with my project. No doubt it will live on! Clans do look better "in the flesh." As has been said, over 90 bhp in a 550 kg. car and with a near-flat torque curve ought to make for a really fun ride! ;D I'm |
