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 £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 :)

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:
