Just for Francis. I considered quite a few things from Westfield XTR2 with a screaming 1300 Hayabusa behind my head, 2" ground clearance and road legal but my ears were bleeding after the test drive despite a crash helmet. To a TVR Cerbera that I was advised against by MikeB who described the cars in one word 'coffin'

I started looking at the Dax Rush and just missed two very nice examples. When I saw this one, that was it.

I have to thank Stuart and MikeB for tolerating my constant bombardment for info on a myriad of cars. Their combined knowledge is encyclopaedic and without their help and generousosity with suggestions, informed opinions and personal experience I'd still be looking.

Thanks guys :thumb:

Hope you approve.

The plugs are certainly easier to get to, at least you can see them and the weight of this will mean I can tow it with a more sensiby sized car.

As for all the wheels, tent, tools, fluids and palarva that I used to bring for the Impreza, forget it. It was mostly used by others anyway and acted purely as a reliability insurance. I'm reling on you lot from now on

I think I have cracked it, none of the above, all to obvious I think the mystry vehicle is a modified Sincalir C5 with extended range batteries and lightened coachwork

Do I get a cup of tea or abuse?

Harry

You were close on the C5 Harry but only by class.

Don't worry, we'll continue the abuse regardless

Like Trev said, it's a gentleman's car, nothing brutal about it.

I'm viewing it as a retirement car and visualise myself poodling around the lanes with flying jacket, cloth cap and scarf flapping in the breeze.

For a day or so. :twisted:

When I first read that you were selling your scoob I thought you had lost it :roll: . But DAMN!!!! that thing looks sweet and with a V8 8)

I can only see one drawback with that car..... your face is going to hurt

from all the grinning you'll be doing everytime you drive it or just look at it
