just to clear up the car in the pics is owned by my friend Ross he owns quirks car co in wickford with his dad
the reason i asked if that was the actual one is that i might have been able to put a word in to get a better deal, but if he already has it then too late.
awesome cars thought you will love it

These cars really do nothing for me. Looks wise its just a big fat dull corperate motorway transporter.
I find all the gearbox settings etc all a bit too wanky. I can't see how you would ever need 11 settings on the gearbox. 2 at the most. Everything about it is just "stuff i can brag about down the golf course".
However, you are obviously chuffed with the car so not doubt you made the right choice.

Love these cars, a mate of mine has one in black with black wheels, and only gets 7mpg.
Mind you though if you can afford one, running one is'nt going to be a problem though is it.

lovely car mate,
my best mate is on the look out for one now, he has decided on the colour you have or black,
he has found some wheels that he wants to buy for it too, bit pricey though at three grand

...yes carlo i was advised to not go full system only rear boxs due to full systems although gaining around 7bhp for about 3k outlay ! cause you to loose torque!

Few of my mates have em...
perfect family car for a petrol head!!
amazing alrounder. True supercar performance but also practical!
I REALLY dont understand the appeal to you though? you dont have kids?
I drove one down to Paris a few times for the Rugby.... this is me
look at the AVERAGE speed!
9mpg meant lots of this though!
