old skool mate,the idea came from the old turbosystems car i loved that car, i just adapted it a bit to suit me and to look a bit different and with the colours i thought it brought it up to date.

Is a buyers guide worth having?Most of these cars are worth what someone is prepared to pay and not what the trade say its worth?

Dan you might want to correct your email address, or the guy called Dan that works at Futrenet is going to be pissed at getting loads of pics of Fords

bummer

you've get a lot of different points of view depending on whih mag they were being fetured in, now it seems that owners sign excusivity deals with a certan company and no one else gets a shot, not that it's a bad thing in some ways, at least they are getting exposrue in a mag, but it tends to be more secretive now rather than being in the open because "you've got a nice/fast car"
