Cossies are the same as any car if you look after it they will be ok.You have to think these cars have been thrashed since day one no doubt.

a company needs to remanufacture panels so they can be restored right rather than plated together then they might last

i need some motivation to keep mine
i'm thinking of packing it all in again
either put an escort together for the track
or get a m3(sorry)
i realy do like my saph
but since i found out that its something special being a black 2wd
i'm scared to bend it, i know i wont look after it as good as it deserves(not mechanicaly, i just leave my car out in the rain to get washed etc)
so might be better off going to a better home
just cant decide what to do with it

Does anyone know where my old Smokestone Saph is now.I sold it on its original plate K675AAV but when i had it it was on my personal plate. Proir to me it belonged to Mungus and Smudger.
Does anyone know whats happened to it. I've done a reg check and it seems to be off the road Heres a pic taken when Mungus owned it.
