Default Looking for some advice help

Im already a member from owning a classic scooby a few years back.

But upon looking for a new car i come across this scooby and instantly fell in love, apparently its pretty known around the Scooby world, and was wondering if any of you guys know this car, seen it, or seen it being driven, if its ok? etcetc, any help or info much appreciated

What's the full spec? 380bhp will be pushing the limit of the standard brakes, suspension and drivetrain. Interior seems nice if a bit garish. The nearside front door seems a different shade.

If it is running 380 bhp you will need to swap to a better disk/caliper set up. You could try sending JGM a message asking if he can give you any tips. The gearbox is on the limit with the claimed power, as is the engine. It does have some nice blingy bits. As long as it is running fine and the price is right it seems okay. Buy with your head and not your heart.

This is why im asking you guys, im not great with cars hence i want one done properly rather than me doing it up. I have rang JGM who is going to email later to see if he recognises the car from the claimed map on the ad.

as long as you drive it like it has crap brakes then you'll be fine on the 4 pots on the road.
