just been on the phone to adrian flux, and their telling me the reason why they quoted £1000+ for 12months is because VR6's have so much "grunt" that people have been flipping their vr6 or overshooting corners etc etc blah blah blah

what a load of ball ocks!!!!

Dosn't sound bad at all atleast if it was running and thats whats made him buy it then really its a matter of replaing and servicing it as you would anyway if you meet up with him and he's lieing you can tell if he keeps looking left lol seen it on the bill etc hahaa give him some tester questions ask if there was any service history for it and if he's got the clocks or a photo etc nice one  :smiley:
