I'm not familiar with the 'Modified Nationals'. Is this their web discussion forum, as I note that the car is already on there?

Has swapshop suddenly moved to scoobynet? Are there any forums/pages for normal owners where people dont rip the crap out of each other on a daily basis?

Well fwiw performance before posing imo.

However, you pay the money and you takes your choice.

It does get frustrating when 'power people' look down on 'posing people', and 'posing people' frown upon 'power people' but it IS your money to spend as you want.

You won't believe what I was going to do with mine, to 'beef' it up.
Fortunately, common sense prevailed.

I don't really give a $hit personally...How many take the pi$$ out of my pink spec-c, , If you put pictures up on the internet, You will get comments good and bad...If you like the good ones but can't take the bad ones don't read or rise to them as it only gets worse.

My opinion on this car like it or not is, In its day it was a show winner just turning up at an event but how times change and sorry to the owner but i think it looks dated now, If you like it that's all the matters

The car was 405bhp last time I spoke to the Craig (lad who built it) his a good friend of my sisters and am almost sure it made about 450 bhp was no trailer queen when he had it, it was driven everywhere, yes it was a black Sti uk bugeye and the respray alone cost him £5k and did have somewhere like 100k in it as it only had top parts installed, not everyone's cup of tea but plenty others did like it hence the many awards it won, me personally I really like it but given the chance would probs have a standard p1 and £95k house lol.

Really don't believe its had 100K spent on it.
The spec really aint all that to be fair, just lots of shiny bits.

You don't list the mods as its already agreed with insurance that your changing aftermarket parts. It would be a bit like me trying to explain what's on my car when all the parts have gotten out of control

I'm no where close to £100k and as far as spec goes mine would run rings around his, mine just never gets washed never mind polished

Im really not to sure where people get these huge figures from. I reckon they must just make a number up to help sell it or get it in the mags etc.
100K is a serious amount of money, I would imagine this 'show car' hasn't had half that spent on it. Its on standard engine, brakes and box FFS !!!!!!

I presume his has say a £20k stereo install and say a £10k interior? Still makes you wonder where the other £50k went as I'm allowing £20k for the car purchase

Well, I got one that would (and will) make any Subaru posted for more than £17k look overpriced.

Sorry, but anyone who pays for looks and doesn't worry about performance must be out of their head.
