The skyline in the Celi pic looked like Aberdeen(my neck of the woods) Yip loved the T Sport as well, nice smooth drive until you gun it and hit the 6000rpm then the fun begins, miss my mine at times especially the fuel consumption (well over 400miles on a long drive)

Cheers dude.

She was a minter, only sold due to being offered the right money at the right time.

Without doubt the most awesomely brutal car ive ever driven. Absolutely loved every single second of owning it. I had it over 18 months, religiously warmed and cooled properly. But i dove it like i stole it and it never.. and i mean never skipped a beat once!

Bought this back in November 1999 and kept it for 18mths




And after 18mths of loving the car, took it for service to local dealership and happened to see this in showroom. Figures were discussed and a week later i was driving her out of the showroom


It will be 7yrs of ownership this july and i cannot bring myself to part company. Rebuilt the engine to a better spec last year and i've got a few things left to do, Simtek, Big Turbo, new wheels........









Worst thing is, i've been working away for the last 6mths and havent driven her...... but the contract finishes this friday and i'm off home
