yup. needed bonnet, headlights, grill, bumper and the front wings painting. only sounds like a little bump. phoned to get an ins quote and was told it may increase the premium by a bit. while waiting for a quote i've found a white one and going to look at it saturday morning seller of the cat c one sounds genuine and was up front. if you're looking for mainly a track car i'd go and have a look at it. or there's a wrx v limited in hampsire up for £2500, done 66k. needs a new dp and 2 rear tyres. the owner said to me he'd take £2200.

Yep, torque higher than bhp, lovely.
Must have more than just the downpipe to genuinely make those numbers though.

Matt, I picked the BM up from Carlisle, go up on the train, on a Sunday think I paid £40 including upgrading to 1st Class!
Free coffee, bickies, fruit, newspaper, carriage to myself, and free wifi.
Got the seller to collect me from the station.
1 way ticket does mean that you are pretty committed
