Re: I'm trying to like it
I'm trying to figure out how it's totally unique with a generic body kit and standard interior
Look out guys it’s him that thinks he’s in charge!

Re: I'm trying to like it

But others, could take it or leave it.

That's what I thought too.rikthornton wrote:Seen worse. Needs better offset or spacers or something.
The whole thing is somewhere between 'too much' and 'not enough' - if that makes sense!
Re: I'm trying to like it
I see this car frequently, last time I saw it it was in a ditch (hence the 'custom' colour). It hasn't been very well looked after imo, I've seen the guy well and truly thrashing the bo****ks off it.
Re: I'm trying to like it
Yeah, he threw money at it like you wouldn't believe. I can't remember if it was silver or white, that sort of colour anyways. He went off the A142 and ripped his front bumper off and dented all along the o/s door. . Must admit though, he has done a good job of it.

Re: I'm trying to like it
Classic what you don't want...v6 and not looked after

Re: I'm trying to like it
Think the smallest touch than someone makes to a car makes it a 1 off. Not really up to anyone else to call it common.

Re: I'm trying to like it
I never like it when they put a reserve on it.
Why not just put the reserve as the opening bid, at least you know what their hoping for.
Some times people are just " testing the water " to see what it's worth.

Re: I'm trying to like it
I like it, saw it on there the other day. IMHO all it needs is some nice wide spacers to bring the rims in line with the arches and it's a damn fine looking coupe.
There are no bad guys.........just disturbed guys.......but know this......I am a nightmare walking

Re: I'm trying to like it
It's a good looking mota, just needs £100 odd spending on spacers and the outside would be done

Re: I'm trying to like it
I'd use it as a starting project.
He's done the engine, I would take the wing off
Then start work on it, because I do like the overall look of it.

Re: I'm trying to like it
At first, I saw the 117748 miles on the clock and thought, "[Flying one], this must be a good V6." Then I scrolled and read:
Then I closed the page because, frankly, it looks like piss.
Which was followed by a large aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.Engine rebuild at 98,000 miles, new flywheel + clutch.
