If you need to know anything about her, you only have to ask.

Congratulations on getting possibly the best all round sapphire left......and with big power and all the right bits to keep it reliable.

Now get those indicators changed back to white's.....LOL.

At least you've got Karl on your doorstep.....

I've got hundreds of pics of the developement over the years, on my computer back home, I'll download them onto a disc if you want and send them too you.

Back home in about four weeks.....(Cruising the Med at the moment).

Martin : You don't have to be sorry matey....It was your car from the moment you handed me the cheque....LOL. Not mine anymore, but still nice to see it stay in the club.

Not sure if Martin told you, but I still have quite a few spares from the car....Two Hockenhiem wheels with brand new tyres. Wheels are mint to look at, but have a very slight buckle on the inner rim due to a pot-hole, but they could be straightened by Ian Jemmison Engineering very cheaply. And they are totally unmarked....just like the ones on the car.

Asking Martin for his sig as well... why not rape him while your at it.....

Kind of Ironic, that Pete (Staffi) was one of the other (3 in total) buyers that was after the car when I was selling it..........Good things come to those who wait.

And I'm really pleased it's gone to someone who'll appreciate it.

With the "Zoo" Rear Beam that Martin had put on it, and now the GT30 and even bigger injectors, it really has to be about the ultimate road going sapphire out there. And all in a totally concourse shell. Theres some big power cars out there, and some concourse ones too, BUT ... Very few have both.



How was the test drive.......
