Nice cars, horrid dash, slightly dead steering and hard work to get going, but great fun when your in the mood.

and all you heard about cossies was they corner on rails and have fitted anti gimp brake assistance

a fast car that fashionable will always have the same result as a chip working as a supply teacher at the local girls school

not a bad car by most standards, but the drivers usually think they have the fastest car in the world that annoys me. they are getting more common but still a very good car

Had mine about 18 months now and still love it

As said, they love to revved, and all day long, and are so reliable

I have put a mongoose on and an induction kit which has made a big difference.

Here ae some pics when I got it.......
