Go for the Scooby Mark. Those Twin scoll turbo's are supposed to be awesome. Just check out Bob Rawle's project thread for when he was tuning his.

But those 4 pots sound so unrefined, what you want is a real engine with 6 cylinders,

Here's my next project,

Now that sounds like a proper car.

This one is tempting me. Lots of mods (that I could sell!) and I like the gay colour

Said £14.2k too!

S2000 has gone!

Shane, that one has been run with a fair few mods and no remap by the looks of it

Its a minefield out there!

There's a silver EVO at West Moors Motor co that im going to have a test drive of. Another low miler but very standard

Anyone want to start a sweepstake to see what I end up with?!

Don't get one from a stealer!

You'll pay 20% more for it than they did, if not more.
You already know more about the car than they will ever know, to them it's just a fast box on wheels.
The warranty will have a limit of £300 per claim.
You don't need finance, you'll get a better rate from your bank.
If the car was any good it would still be at a Mitsi dealer, not some Arthur Daily car plot.
You can valet it yourself with £30 worth of Meguiars gear from Halfrauds.

I ****ing hate them sheepskin wearing, second hand car dealing scum bags, I should know, my old man was one for 20 years.

Buy from an enthusiast direct, you know it makes sense Rodney.

I totally agree Shane, I would only go for it if its the right deal, dont worry. Its fresh off the boat and unregistered. Id rather they took the money off for any warranty - load of ****. It will be cash too

I have a dislike for car traders

So you coming Monday?

When did you see it Mike? Was it an EVO 8 with no mods?

Have to admit I only had a quick look round it but going for a better inspection today.
