Not yet John...it's a great little stretch of tarmac....with some good roads bearing off it too.
Didn't realise the audio bit about other cars...shame.

Re: Lust and Desire.
Did you clean out all the fries in the air filter before it went wattie ;-D
Re: Lust and Desire.
all fries removed Stew!
Nothing wrong with the car fellas.
Unfortunately the Euro hasn't collapsed quite as quickly as I thought it would and as a result the Cypriot Government wants me to pay circa Euro31,000 tax and registration fees NOW
Just my luck.... to pay now and then it all crashes and falls apart....and I'm left holding over a 110k Euro's worth of car, post revaluation valued at circa a bag of fries.

Re: Lust and Desire.
Ok, so I'm slightly biased....once bitten forever smitten etc etc
But I've been limping round the house all morning at the thought of this.....
Cheaper than a 911 Turbo......what would you rather be seen in........ and they say it will drive at least as well....
and then there's the noise......
