Right, the suns set, its time to tell the Mrs you are "just off to check how bright the headlights are" and take it for another blast!

Lovely!

That belonged to a member on here, yes? It's got upgraded suspension, headers, exhaust and LSD? If so, that's the perfect spec. I wanted that exact car, but missed it twice!

They're awesome cars, regardless. Massively overlooked, they're a proper little GT car. They might not handle as well as a Boxster, but who cares when you've got the roof down and that V8 noise on a summers day?

Looks wonderful. These always appealed to me from years back. Top Gear did an interesting review of one against the boxster at the time.

That's an great colour too, love it.

Here's my handcrafted effort!
