Rich Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Sounds promising, I love these cars, my mate had one in matt black but was in need of some loving and he couldn't afford to maintain it so he had to sell it on. Had a 1.3 gt engine which had blown on him whilst drifting but it still drove for a good few thousand miles after Quote Link to post Share on other sites
