My new toy

[cooperchris]

Well me an the girl thought it was about time for a change of car, So we started getting the family car ready for the For Sale signs. Then i was talking to a mate an he said he would take it of our hands. Perfect :yes nod:

Then we decided to just start putting money away an saving for when the right car comes along. That lasted a whole week :laugh: and i came across the car we now own.

A few pictures for you all to have a little look, Hope you like.......

Will let you know when the wife lets me Ian :yes nod:

Can you send me a pm with a rough price, The paint work doesn't seem to bad. The guy that had it before me said its been detailed twice in the last 5 years, It has got swirl marks on it but they dont seem to bad for it being a black car. Al let you decide when you see it.

It will be getting done at some point :thumbs up:

Its the 2.5l engine.

A mate of mine had the 2.6 and it felt alot quicker but i've not given mine much stick yet. The front wheels could do with getting balanced first.

That is a beauty mate, love it.

That is a beauty mate, love it.

[The Dogfather]

If I remember right the 2.5 has more power but less torque than the 2.6

[cooperchris]

Cheers for all the coments folks, We looked at a slightly smaller family car but couldn't go past this one :D

Not looked at any figures yet. Still feels plenty quick though with just a little throttle.

I,m always on the look out for potholes. The mini doesn't like them either with the coilovers an 40 profile tyres, Just have to be extra careful.
Cant wait till prop on the road an mr kings had his hands on it.
