I still regret not buying one. A long time ago I agreed the price for one (?10k-ish) and the [big] garage had it delivered from Manchester to Glasgow for me. I went to check it and buy it and low and behold it's a year older than they'd told me :( I drove it and loved it, but they wouldn't take a penny off the car so didn't buy it. Still pisses me off that I didn't just get it :)

It's not too late to get one! Plus you don't have to pay 10k for one now. My mate is selling is and it's quite mint and he wants ?1500 for it. Low mileage too. If you're interested, let me know. :)

nice ...

Got some pics sent to me of my engine build. :)
