Default The Bomber - 9 years of Love/Hate later.

Only 3 years old and covered 21k miles and completely factory standard. These are my first ever pics of what became "The Bomber"








9 years later, she's still here, now covered only 47k. Despite my longing for a Porsche 911 I can't see her going anywhere soon.






I can't believe where the time has gone, but I know I've met some absolutely superb friends along the way, been to some great places, race tracks and shows and I owe it all to this car.

The seats are well sought after Frayz, I've just paid £650 to have mine re upholstered with the Recaro Prodrive Logo and a new seating cushion due to a few tears in the fabric.

Mine are sparco but Prodrive also did some gorgeous Recaro SPAs.
Ross Parker has a set in his type R. I'd swap mine for some if I could find some.
