i apologise to everyone for bringing back this wayyyy old thread.
but if gillm ever reads this

I HAVE IT

 

[CupraElliott]

Is it yellow? Think my mate had it, or at least had that plate or similar plate.

 

[mazzerati]

Yer it's yellow! What his name?

 

[CupraElliott]

Kris, can't think of his second name.

At the time, he sold it because it kept going into limp mode, guess that's been sorted?

 

[mazzerati]

how long ago he have it? :S

err i guess so, all seems ok atm lol
if it goes wrong ill rip engine out and put a bam in it.

 

[CupraElliott]

It was a few years ago now. He might have sold the plate because he asked me to buy it and I think it was for sale on here.

It had black wheels and the front upper strut brace paint was badly wrinkled off the heat of the turbo.

 

[mazzerati]

Lol that's exactly the one!

But now it has shagged front and rear brakes, an exhaust that's blowing and held on with wire? Lol a seized rear caliper, a broken temp sensor
Oh and seized koni coilovers!
Yay haha.

Sounds a peach...

How do people look after these cars (a modern classic, imho) so badly?

 

[Jamie P]

This used to be based in Swindon, has it / did it have a smooth boot with a black Nurburgring sticker on the left rear side? Black / Dark grey Comp MO's on it?!

 

[mazzerati]

That's the thing with modified cars you get well looks after ones and poor ones
Mines mid range tbh cos the engine is spot on

And that's the one Jamie

 

[Jamie P]

I used to love that car... My heart sank when i heard it was hit!

 

[mazzerati]

Probably why it has new panels then lol.

 

[Jamie P]

Maybe so... IIRC, it was the Drivers rear quarter panel... Guy was going up a hill, and a camper van came rolling down, as the driver hadnt put the handbrake on, on the drivers left hand side was a row of cars, so couldnt move at all... And then the camper hit him...

 

[mazzerati]

And that's the new panel lol
Nice to know why it was changed though! Thanks
They have done and amazing job of repairing it.

It's getting a full respray next year and proper cleaning, so it will be good!

My cars a *****
