Nice advert, whats the betting this will be around about as long as the last "Track Toy Saph"

Nice car though, personally with your collection I'd much rather be kicking the arse out of the Caltex ? livery 3 door !

Each to their own I guess !

I don't think the RS500's even left the factory with 4 greens iirc, 8 yellows, 4 of which were disconnected anyway.

I possibly have that totally wrong but I think it was something like that.

The problem with fitting a 500 kit is that people never give the car credit for being a nice car ( thats if it is ) they will always check to see if its a real 500 and if it isnt then they just snub it and walk away chuffed with themself for spotting its not a real 500

Leave a 3 door as is and let people admire the car rather than snub it

It is in the white one you sold me lol.
Hoping to be at croft with it this year too, just my spares department aint quite as large as yours. Nice to see 3 doors going like the clappers mate ,best sight at a track day for me , especialy chasing down Evos and scoobs lol

Paul is that a fiberglass bumper, or an original just for the pics.
The one i have got is a shit fit so just paid for another which is slightly better.
Oh and how much and where from for a fiberglas uper Paul as my original is quite heavy and may chang it ???

If he doesnt use this one properly on track, can he be banned from ever using the term "track toy" again as he is constantly misusing it to describe cars he likes to polish?

And YES I am just saying that cause im jealous

Indeed mate, hence I said "use this one properly on track" I want to see it hammered not just slowly parade round and claim it did it

He can clearly afford to crash it, and he's done what looks like a good job of building it and shoudl be able to have some confidence in it, so surely, before he gets too old to be able to react quickly enough etc, he should just go
"fuck it this one is getting thrashed to within an inch of its life, and if it gets binned it gets binned, im probably the most well known person in rs500 circles, and I want to know for myself what its like to use one of these type of cars (3 door is close enough!) properly in the very environment it was actually designed to be used"

I was refering to your stickered up example mate, isn't that getting tracked since having the title "track car"?

But either way, as said above, the cars you seem to be able to find are outstanding. Hope the luck stays with ya on track
