Does it have to be a big turbo?

As there's two small ones available:

Well there's plenty of cars out there but mint ones are pretty hard to find, they are out there but it may take time to find one.

At least you're not limiting yourself to one colour.

I've been looking for a mint Imperial Blue, small turbo for over two years.

If I see any suitable cars I'll let you know.

Its crap when u have the money and cant find the right car, usually the other way round. Hopefully someone is thinking of selling!

Sometimes you can find a car and then prise it away from the owner. At the end of the day every car has it's price.

Automotive Unlimited have some lovely motors.

John Taylor can often find mint cars.

Paul North Yorks and Pete RS Specialists often come across some great examples.

The RSOC BB is always worth a look as is Rallye News.

Then of course there's always Autotrader, Ebay, Exchange and Mart etc.

The car's are out there it's just a matter of finding them!

Could u tell me whats included in the lux pack? I would really like it to have the leather aswell. I know im being picky but i plan to keep a long time. Bit of advice = would it be a cheeky move to pm a couple of boys of PF and ask them if they were interested in selling their cossies?

Damo V is the best person to ask about standard specs etc. I've got a rough idea about what Lux spec. is but Damo V knows for sure.

I know what you mean mate, I want leather too.

Perhaps a bit cheeky but I'm sure you won't offend anyone if you go about it the right way. If they definitely don't want to sell they'll soon say no.
