...Ooookay.... yes one costs £60K the other does not... so what scooby do you drive a in date or out of date one..


Vano fix is evpensive, however not £8k, near £3k..This is more an issue with the M3 evo where they had issues and some where replaced under warranty...

My brother owns one f these and has had afew in the past..and no vanos issues what so ever..

In the process of selling my current scooby which will be being replaced by one of these beasts..
Awesome car mate sure you will enjoy...

Thanks...not sure what it is..
I was little unsure as i was thinking of a TVR, however after my research on the TVR fourm it was quite clear that they are nice cars however will spend more time off the road then on...

As soon as i mentioned an M5...thats it..i never bothered going back to it...they just went on and on...who cares if you left an M5 standing...i am sure if they hit a wall at 30miles and hour and me hit a wall in the m5 the TVR will brake and crack to peices...

oh well...


Just can't wait till 6am tommorow...driving to Manchester to collect..

Great cars, had one that had done loads of miles still felt great, need respect in the wet/diesel covered roads. Represent fantastic value now, with proper service history and a little luck should have no major bills.Wishing you happy motoringhttp://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m...gAnch=imgAnch1
got an Alpina now

Cracking car though - my e39 530 sport goes well so double the power should be mental. Never had the pleasure of driving one myself. I'm sure you'll be grinning ear to ear
