The only thing I would do if I bought that car would be take the diff out of the F20 and put it in an F28 for the car

Other than that its a cracking car!

Love the old skool motors. That shape was better than the next. There was a really tidy candy red coloured one at Traxx opposite the Passionford stand. Another tidy one.

Combi_Chris, People have paid over Ł8k on B/C plate S1's...not much newer if you look at it that way...
