Trust me, I have been around Cossies for ten years! A 4x4 will always need the next "stage" of tune to be on par with a 2wd! Also a 2wd isn't that bad around the twisties or in the wet, people just need to learn to drive them!

If you buy a £5k Sapph now, what's it going to be worth in say 5 years time? About the same. There's not many cars you can say that about.

Nice 1 bruv I went for a blast with Ran once following a Middx RSOC meet, his car had a 400bhp Harvey engine in it, he said to me when we pulled up for some fuel "fuck me that goes and you were killing me on the roundabouts"
