Finished this yesterday. It's the boss's son's 17th birthday today and this was his pressie. Was stripped to a bare shell and blasted. There wasn't much left of it!! Took 3 months inbetween other jobs. Could have bought a brand new Cooper S for what this cost!!!

Heres my Clasic 911 widebody. No power stearing on this beauty Not many of these around. Most of them were left hand drive. Its pre Turbo but has the Turbo style flared arches ;D ;D ;D ;D OK, When I say its mine its not mine in every sense of the word. It actually belongs to a good friend of mine but I really really do wish that it was mine. Maybe one day he'll give it to me. Hey Nigel?

Hi tony
No sold it last year. Got to say it was a great car it was built for hill sprinting, topped out at around 115mph but would do around 5 secs to 60mph. I fitted a gripper diff to it which mad going around corners. All you had to do was keep your foot to floor and you could feel it digging in to the Tarmac a lot of fun.
Replace it with a lotus.
( in a way I am sorry I sold it )

Can't say I've heard of hill sprinting, how does it differ from hill climbs?

My old mini and t4 I absurlutely love classic minis. I used to own 4 at one point when I was in my 20's. Two of my uncles had a scrap yard where I spent most of my time after work. I was always picking up minis off them. ;D I never used to like the clubman style front end I would always go for the style in your pic until last weekend at Wicksteed parts fair where I saw an old 1275GT. It stopped me in my tracks it was fookin gorgeous. Give it two years and I'll have a rocket powered one

It just digs in and says "yeah I'll have some of that" What's the lotus spec then?
