Hi,

Yes it's a regular SS Ute, but with 400hp (Well 396 on a dyno so nearly 400! All courtesy of Monkfish I believe). It has a hard top over the bed, so the dog would be in the dark or open air if I took the lid off it and the luggage would get wet (we are talking England here don't forget!).

I agree there are a few ways round the problem, but I have had 3 trouble free years with the car, and I have enjoyed it enormously. I raced karts for 12 years and I have never come as close to the tail wagging type of power in any other car. I will be sorry to see it go, but life goes on and it is time for someone else to have some fun with it.

To my knowledge it's had a new throttle body, been chipped and a new set of gears in the diff, there is also a twin 3" Stainless exhaust which sounds as good as any V8 I've heard - not too loud, but a great "sound".
