something a bit more respectable for the run outs too! Now all i need is to teach you to throw it about like a champion!

Could potentially be 3 at the next meet, all black. (and i thought mine was a pretty rare car!)...theyre getting almost as common as tvr's!

I never realised there was such a thing but it sounds very nice! Hmmm, may have to go on a hunt for one of those.

they came with 2 grands worth of vinyls on and looked horrific in that guise, but when you peeled them off it looked extremely tasty! xenons, heated seats, parking sensors and white alloys were standard...very cool and very nice and very rare.

Is this one? If so I see what you mean about the decals! But the white wheels and if it were plain white bodywork bow

yeah, thats the one, stickers off makes a big difference. sods law one came up a month after i got mine, it had more milage but id of swapped it if i hadnt just had mine tinkered with and had the timing belt done....aaaanyway back onto bens car. Like i said mate, couple of frayed edges on it but nothing to cause any drama's and especially nothing to worry about considering the price.

We should do some boxing in on the motorwayssmile
Hmm. I would have said that was a little insensitive had I not seen you posted that before Marks post this morning.

Sounds like they're a safe car though, but what a horrible way to find out.

No, wasn't meaning it like that, I know that wasn't what you meant. It was more of the irony involved. Freaky things happen like that.

I just hope everythings ok for Mark and his Dad. The thought that something like that can happen so suddenly is pretty damn scary. One of those incsidents where suddenly it really doesn't matter what happens to the car, its just a machine, but sounds like they're well built and safe.

Bet he's gutted about it, but thats not really important at the end of the day.
