laugh We've been there before, and there is some bargain priced Pork around at the moment, but it could just as easily be from half a dozen other manufacturers. We'll see. smile
Good pt. I don't like the new stuff myself except for the "GT" cars.

Agreed. biggrin Are you coming to Zandvoort in the summer?
Yes I am signed up (with Boxsey you mean?) but haven't checked dates recently - July is it? ........missed Spa in March due to illness so be good to get there once this year.
yes Middle of July. We're not doing Spa, but will be at Zandvoort. Our VXR8 has gone, and been replaced by an SSV Ute, but not sure if we will be bringing that, or whether I'll have made another purchase by then and bring that instead.

Nearly twins yeah !!

I have added a few Subtle changes to mine now which I think had made a nice difference.

For now all that's left is an enhancement detail with machine polish, three or four small parking ding's to be removed and then slight window tints all round.

For me personally the Impulse blue look epic and with only 25 out there they are certainly few and far between cool
