It was running on trade plates, M27 J9 just before 5pm.

(I feel I ought to point out I was, er, driving a left hand drive truck and my passenger took the photo...... honest)

Wow you guys don't miss a trick do you smile

Picador did have a black one in wink

That was me the "timewaster" (no hard feelings Tattooboy beer ) who went to look at Stewart and Garys car a couple of weeks ago.

Glad to be back in the fold.

No of coarse not, I'd have probably thought the same smile

I was holding out for a black one with a charger and got a bit impatient.

The one at Picador was an ex show/promotional car that has spent a lot of it's life in Portugal and is consequently in incredible condition. A quick call to Walkinshaw confirmed that it has had no expense spared and pretty much every goody from the catalogue short of a blower put on it. The only thing not Walkinshaw is the exhaust which is a switchable Wortec (no bad thing on the face of it though as it doesn't drone on the inside between 60 and 80 like one of my last ones and sounds great on the outside). The sound is probably helped by the headers and 200 cell sports cats. It's also had a cam and has an OTR intake. Polybushes everywhere underneath and coilovers are a nice to have too.

I really like the look of those e-force chargers and the chances of a black one coming up with one of those or the Walkinshaw one anytime soon I thought are slim so given it's amazing condition I bought this one and I'll stick one on.

Ivan.

I did give a quick blast of the horn but never seen the passenger look up, not surprised, you probably never heard it with all them mods, it did look nice. I was a bit.... I mean my passenger was a bit slow with the camara.

I was in a green tipper, same as the one in lane two in the photo.

Yeah we did hear you beep!

We guessed it may be someone admiring the car.

It certainly is the sort of car that is appreciated by people. I look at ownership as a public service and 2 fingers up to the establishment who are trying to put us all in little 1 litre econoboxes.
