I remember seeing the car on the SIDC stand at JAE - and being jealous that your KnockLink install beat the pants off of mine...!
Just the lights in your pod - love it... Shame they didn't show a close up of that cos I loved it!

Always got to remember the fine details, even when you're kicking 400 ponies.

Mental motor - I love it! One of the finer GD chassis around. A classic owner by choice, never much cared for the new shapes but yours is spot on. Well done, sir!!

3 TV's - sweeeet!

They gave it a very good write up - I believe he said it was his favourite new age scoob!!
You can't really call it a bugeye cos you got the GORGEOUS morette conversion.
And to get on the website - very impressive! They should have had you on the cover instead of the satsuma coloured FTO!!

I too always wanted to be in a mag. In JP infact. Waiting till I've finished with her first, though... this time next year, should the money allow!! Not quite 400, but aiming for 320/330.

I'll go to 400 when I can afford the engine rebuild

Happy days - always nice to see a scoob in a mag, especially when it's one I've seen (and dribbled over) before!

Sweet... your first scoobs not a million miles off mine

But I've ditched the gold wheels for chrome since I was at JAE. Did you see it on the back of the SIDC stand (about 2 cars behind you) on the Saturday?

How did you get in the mag? Did the JP boys just see it at JAE and say, "we need to feature that - it's the t1ts!"
Or did you e-mail them pictures and spec. and say "my cars well phat. Please show the world!"

Take care of yourself and your beauty!

LOL - TIDY indeed - love your number plate!!

I'll bet RCM are proud of it...! Not many scoobs go over 350, or even 300 so yours is a bit special

And it's always nice to have my car recognised... Knocklink in the drivers side vent. Which I thought was the BEST place for it till I saw yours

See you around sometime, I hope... If I can keep up. LOL!

No plans for going to the Scooby shootout... I'm too lazy to sort myself out for most of these shows until the morning of the event... LOL!

Just got the mag.... excellent feature Daz!

I always find that cars like this are never really done justice in photos... which is why I'm glad I had a *really* good look around it at Chatham Maritime!
