No doubt more than I'm ever likely to spend on a car frown

edit: £14k? (I think that's what it says on that board tongue out)

This time last year, the same money would only have got you a V8 version.

£30k for this, erm, Roadster, top speed 20mph, "Atom" badge......you could almost buy a real Vantage for that.




This white one looks like a V12, so a relative bargain.

yeah but come on, looking at the sign on the boot it would seem they are offering 10% off this weekend which makes it a bargain! wink

You're selling you car??? Is this to move funds to the Ford racing you started competing in?

Hi Will..... Yup.... Car has to go.... Weighed it all up and for the cost to keep mine which really doesn't get much use at all its just a waste sat on the drive...

Brand new 2015 spec VW Racing cup car in its place... So car and track wheels all up for the heavHo!!

The racing is such a rush!!! Addiction... Like heroin.. LOL

Mines just about to leave now for its last full service & MOT and a final check over to make sure all is OK with the car...

I saw a quote the other day that said "racing makes heroin addiction look like a vague want for something salty". So true hehe

Heroin addiction is probably a damn sight cheaper too.

Just out of curiosity, how come you have gone with the VW cup rather than something like Clio Cup?

Hi George,

The VW cup is more entry level (well was supposed to be) LOL Plus my Cousin runs Team Hard which is a 8 car team in the series.... Next season will be doing the VAG Trophy, Which is More entry level, to gain a year of experience, then the VW cup the year after..... Well happy with my progress and lap times etc... Just want more actual race experience, the drivers in the VW cup are a mixture of well experienced drivers plus a few ex touring car drivers....

The Clio cup will be massive bucks..... Not sure how much a drive is but I expect a whole load... High profile line up along side the BTCC...

That thing is horribly ugly. Even more so because of the price.
