Have to say i was very surprised by the fat black beast, the doors shut with a solid chunk (unlike my sti which clangs), its got intercooler water spray as std (type r's only and a the v-ltd 4 door scoobs).
I was expecting it to have poor build quality (based on makes reputation) but was very surprised to find it more solid than my scoob and almost current and up to date in the technology dept!
Have to say the tailgate weighed a ton though!!
i'll take credit for the photos

Below is his last grale before the black one, have to say i preferred the red car, looked super nice. I have no photos of it but he also managed to get full black leather in it as well.
He's just one of those guys that picks up cars cheaply that turn into really nice cars. The red one he bought trade off a garage who just wanted rid of it, he got in touch with the old owner who was working round the corner from me, i met him over lunch and he gave me a massive envelope stuffed with bills, service history, everything from bulb purchases to mots and services.
If i'd have bought it, it would have turned into a ringer with no history and clocked!

Arron - dunno what this is about Italian car electrics - everyone I've owned has had spot on electrics and no rust problems considering age - just everyone reels out the same old crap they've read somewhere . . . .
Dunc20 - it too would have your Scoob any day! For breakfast! :-)
But the example shown above looks very nice - but not used enough - should be filthy enough to tempt an Astra driver to overtake - up-hill, in the wet . .. . . hee-hee - one dung heap of an F-reg Integrale off into the distance . . . .
small minds and all that! But I smiled!
But whatever - everyone enjoy their own particilar brrand of supercar!

'I have had a street race with 1 in my sti v2 a beat it.I personally don't think they are all that.( but thats my opinion)'
and because you were quicker its a poor car eh??
My how the car buying/judging process must be so easy for you, if you get beat it must be better car
Methinks you should reserve jusgement till either you drive one yourself from a-b down a back road, then try and beat the time in your scoob, or find a driver of comparable level to yourself and see how you get on rather than trying street gp's...
The best handling car ive been in for many a moon was the e30 BMW m3, but in a street race many vehicles would wipe the floor with it, but its still widely regarded as one of the best handling / pure drivers car in the world.
