RS looks a minter Nick. Not many MK1s left that haven't been ruined by the "hurry up" brigade.

Your VXR8 looks amazing, I love the soundtrack LS3 engine has. Is yours N/A?

A mate of mine had one of these with a TWR exhaust system and it sounded unreal, so much so it was nick named The Growler! Ha ha

Picked up the new beast to run alongside the 924s last night (whilst I repair/refurbish or strip it for track use)

My girlfriends first comments were 'I can't see you in it' and 'its a bit chav' I don't care though!

For £3.2k on a late 2004 reg with full honda history and factory leather interior amongst some other upgrades I'm chuffed. It currently has no smiley but does have type r members club stickers on the rear windows:



I'll be around the Petts Wood/Lee/Chislehurst areas as normal smile

Thanks, bit of a bargain really. All works following my trip back from Berks last night, just the slight issue of speed humps to worry about.

Only thing that needs attention are the front tyres which are at about 3mm and I need to get used to the gearbox following the old porsche and DCT 335i previously which are compeltely differant.

Yes, very much so. Didn't have any issues on the drive back, very comfy and plenty of in gear poke for the motorway - It's off on holiday, driving to croatia, in a few months so should be a bit of fun, especially on the island roads!
