96N 65k (claimed as I say no history), in Aubergine, never heard of that colour on a cossy before, but looks gorgeous. Wants 12k?

I wouldn't buy an escort cossie. My S2 p!sses all over them. Take YUM360 for example, he reckons he's got 468bhp but he couldn't keep up with me.

If I reshelled it with a Nova shell as well, I reckon it'd up the power to 100bhp and I'll be able to race trains.
