CorradoVR6-Turbo 0 Posted May 25, 2009 Cheers bud :tongue:! but people are less willing to spend money at the mo and I suppose its doing no harm as is, so i may as well have some fun with it! :) So while the weather has been great me and my mates decided on a mini convoy to our local hamsterly forest in Durham making more noise than the other folks visiting wood like and crawling over some nasty speed bumps :mad2: Still it was a laugh! My mate who was passanger said " fu*k me this thing is quick!" while holding firmly onto the grab rail! tart!! :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chazrad 0 Posted May 27, 2009 James, Your car is up for a steal of a price, given its spec. I am paying to have my VRT built and I might have well bought yours for the price its going to cost in the end ... So there you go folks, if you want a VRT, buy this one, 'cos they cost way too much to convert yourself. :D And anyway, if anyone out there is really interested in your car, and is reasonably certain about their job security, there has never been a better time to get a cheap loan!! :wink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted May 28, 2009 I've spent the majority of the past week trying to convince a friend of mine to buy this car. TBH if I thought I could actually sell mine and also didn't have a 24V engine ready to go in it then I'd have snapped your arm off by now for this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete_griff 0 Posted May 28, 2009 i would love to buy this, but there would have been hardly any point in getting rid of my old one if i was to buy this one it's really really really tempting though as i have the cash sitting here burning a hole in my pocket! :?
