Default Picking up my new saff today ( PICCS )

Im well excited

collecting my new 500+bhp saff from Harvey"s after its had a service , turbo rebuild and some work on the gearbox , and a mapping session

Looking forward to getting it home and going out for a very long blast to see how it realy goes on the superb north yorks roads

I must say a big thanks to Jason who sold me the car ,

we agreed a price inc a service and mapping session at harveys so the car was spoton for me ,BUT , harvey wasnt happy with the turbo so off it went for a rebuild , then on test drive Harvey wasnt 100% happy with the big tooth gearbox , so out that came and was made good

all this was done at no expense to me as jason agreed to pay for this so the car was 100% for me

so big thanks to Jason , and a big thanks To Harvey for a superb HONEST sevrice


Oh, and rainbird , im gonna thrash your old car everywhere it goes

Paul

Paul , you will enjoy this car but a back road car it aint as you probaly know.super engine but needs uk A roads. much better than Irish ones for a little leg streching.needs to strech its legs a bit.

brilliant shell and roundabout magnet went with the change over....lol

ran in it with the last three owners(friends) and the car was always strong and reliable.Jason was very fair with you,not to many out there would have done that for you.hes a good lad .

best of luck and mind it like the last 3 mousketeers did
