Post by: [han] on 22 October 2007, 15:08: no problem at all! :grin:

they all have their problems though.. so ideally the more you pay you could be getting a better car.. although i paid Ã‚£850 for mine with plenty of test. And it passed no probs last month (except an exhaust hangar that had been cut off the exhaust (aftermarket stainless) which i was aware of)

Just remember they are old cars now... and not always 100% reliable.. we're ALL had our issues, but mine has been fine since July :)

nah there is no reason for it go wrong. iot's been sweet as a nut and i'm not driving it half as much as i used to since i moved house so the cab is appreciating that! :) it only goes out for leisurely drives :)

in that case there wouldnt be 3 for sale on the first 2 pages of the for sale section. its the wrong time of year to sell which means its a great time of year to buy :rolleyes:

thats dependant on the car. there getting old now and some are in better condition than others. there not as fast as a tintop because of the extra chassis strength/weight. ive not driven mine to its limits but its quick off the mark and turns on a sixpence and is extrememly fun to drive. it will never be the fastest car on the strip but it will imo look the best :cool:
