I thought only fancy FlyBoys drove cars like that.....oh wait... lol.
Did you really buy it mate? It looks a wee ripper, somewhat better than your last one eh? ;) What colour are you going to paint it or is it going to stay au natural?
Take care buddy,
Rusty.
Man, you got ripped off. The steering wheel's on the wrong side. :gomer:

Oh, and nice car and all, but what's wrong with that wheel being on the right side, mate? :)

Yes rusty I did buy it :) yeah it is better than my last car thats for sure
Going to leave the Aluminium Panels the as they are - not sure if the bonnet would look better in black or how it is (grey)
I'll bring it down to show you - and prove ownership, maybe even take you for a ride
and yes it is really light around the 650-750kg range
You're just jealous because we live in the land where four wheel drifts are a four month long phenomenon. :p
Nice wheels. Shame about the engine, though. Fortunately there's a cure for that...

wat engine is that??
It's the Cosworth version of Ford's 2.3L Duratec engine. Caterham puts a 260hp version in their 7.
