cheersw for all the welcomes and good comments guys!!! i love the escos as its so simple to drive and as its only on 26k miles alot of it still feels new, but its a complete car which for me makes it very user friendly.

the alfa is the toy out of the lot really as since the engine was built 14 months ago its yet to reach 300 miles but the alfa ive done as its something very different and generally people like it as its somthing out of the norm.

oh btw that engine may be for sale if anybody is interested but as a complete engine with loom and ecu but im not sure how much to ask for it should i sell it!! it will come with documented evidence of its build and very little milage from field motorsports and abc motorsports who put the engine in for me!!

but thanks agianguys

Like the Escos more than the Alfa, but only a little bit! lol
lol well i have a very understanding girlfriend and i work as a metal prefabrication specialist. its not great pay but i know where my priorities are

also yes the car is locked away nicely safe and sound and the rocker cover has recieved abit of attention but more because of its worth if it were melted back to bullion!!! i may even take it off and put a normal one back on there
