They're the best wheels you can have in my opinion.

He speaks to Paul regularly as he already has a Black one so that goes without saying.

Paul may not know the car personally or there may be others on here that do, hence the question.

Holy crap even I remember this car.

"RAHHH... BOP.. PCHEWWWW"

I even contemplated getting a custom plate with E55DGU on it.

I'd kill to own that car. I'd sell all three of my cars and still come up short.

Just did some quick math.

To get that into Canada is about $57500 CDN. It's been a skinny year for me and that is more than a year's wages easy.

I'll be owner #6 at the earliest.

funny ah that benzar slates joe for supposedly bad workmanship on this very car and yet it ends up back there???also some of the things that were supposed to be big problems rectified like the wastegate being to close to the brake lines,nms just taped the lines in some reflective heatwrap!!!the wastegate also still rubbed through the strut brace and yet joe was slated for a poor instalation on this and ray the last owner paid nms to rectify...
ray was also moaning that he was al down heartend and even lost money selling the car on but infact paul paid more for this than ray first did....truth always comes out in the end!!!!
the new owner paul has had some lovely rs and a few nice 500s never keeps them longer than 5 mins though...
cheers danny
