Mr Brannen

I know it's been said before but I've got to say it again. That looks lush


Personally I love the look of the Saff and I'm so glad I got one

Turbosystems demo car - fell in love with this when I first saw it on the cover of Revs ( ) magazine back in 1998! I still think it looks cool as fuck

I love my Saph and tbh i doesn't bother me that people call it turbo taxi.

Imo Saphs still look cool, not modern though by any means. If i had to choose a Cossie on looks alone then i would be torn between an Escos and an RS500.

Saphs are like Julia Roberts, getting on a bit but you still want a go because theres just something about it!

CUNT!

Do you think the monte wheels look better than mo's?
Thats the only difference! I think the MO's are at least a million times better! Means i can get proper springs on and have a decent amount of air in the tyres so they dont scrub
