Dont get me wrong Pete I have spent serious cash on the car and at the point in the thread Im not far away from spending even more
but AVA have helped towards the cost of most of the developmet stuff/time on the rollers and always help with fuel, food and van etc when going anywhere with the car.
My mood and motivation changes for the car quite alot and sometimes I think what a waste of money and sometimes I think Its been great fun and you only live once, cant take it with you kind of thing.
Either way its been an experience that any petrol head would love, the feeling of it coming on boost in 3rd gear is immense and something you dont forget!
Not many people can say they have driven at almost 190 mph, infact when I get talking about my car to someone that doesnt know anything about it and I mention that It goes 190 mph you can tell they think your just another bullshitting boyracer its that unbelievable to the normal person.

God knows how many times people have aske me how "My" Cossie is doing, (Thats in between telling me the need their boiler fixed! LOL) only for me to explain that its not mine its my (twin)brothers and when I mention the power or the top speeds ur aiming for they look on in disbelief.

White saph's are the quickest aswell.

Ive followed this car for a long time. Even remember the first time i saw the pics on strathy (yes strathy! ). I can't believe its been 3-4 years already. I remember seeing it at a PF meet i organised in 2005/2006, you took Davvy G out in it and i remember just how fast he said it was. Thats probably slow in comparison to what its like now.
All i can say is congrats! Not many people have the balls to spend that sort of money on a car.
