The Alfa went, and today so did the FTO, in exchange for this:



so far i've yet to find the switch to turn the Turbo on hehe

it has *some* horsepower, Carbon bonnet eyelids and airscoops, as well as supra wheels.

120,000 miles and a fully stamped service history.

A white Rev1 with a cf bonnet and air scoops?

Is it a turbo or N/A?
it has only hampsters to generate the BHP.

Loving the white alloys.

Personal taste though - I think it looks lopsided with only one exhaust outlet...

It gets better.... biglaugh

Keep the pimp tinted rear window, it's a Godsend in all honesty.

I have to ask- when chappie said "Oi do you want this MR2" why did you say "yeah go on then, lube me up big boy"

???
because the fto still needed work, and costs a fortune to insure.
this costs £250 a year to insure, and does mid 30mpg (so far)
not a bad little runner (if dreadfully slow)

I take it you didn't trade both the Alfa and the FTO for the MR2?
If you did, you got shafted!!

I'm willing to admit that there's something seriously wrong with my ability to choose cars. frown

That's probably why I quite like the look of your little N/A there (CF bonnet excepted). You're not wrong about the speed though - I tried a rev 3 n/a GTI 16. I swear my Mums' fiesta would have beaten it in a straight line.

Seconded... I do like those headlamps, they'd look wicked on a black one... like mine hehe

Presumably it's just a kit you can slot in?
