Just being a bit nosey

With all the articles going on in the press of late I would have thought that Ian Lit was rubbing his hands with glee

Sadly I'm a few k short to be able to place an order...

I know of 2 people with orders in the pipeline and 2 others who actually own them now.
Personally I think the standard spec C is a fantastic track car but not such a good choice as your day to day transport.
No air con, no electric windows, no boot lining, and thinner door panels put me off.
The Ltd version at least has air con & elec windows but are as rare as rocking horse **** to buy for under £27k

Tony,
Make sure you update the members gallery as soon as you get it.
I'm not jealous really, honest.

Russell, any chance of a piccy of your car? Isn't yours a Ltd in WR?

I'm seriously contemplating a GL model which has all the toys bar the roller bearing turbo. Does that count?

the spec cs i have looked at had air con and electric windows, also the panels/glass didnt seem noticeably different, however the boot was stripped out these were 02/03 models one of each

You know the UK version with DCCD will be over priced.

Get the JDM you know it makes sense

DannyB I assume your second post illustates the ride 'quality' for occupants on a typical uk B road?

Does removing the boot lining really improve the power:weight ratio that much? I think that's the next mod on my car...
