I really regret selling my VX220 (even though my back thanks me for it) and was hankering after another track car since. I did track the 911 down at Kirkistown but the fear factor is high so something a bit more 'disposable' was required. Budget creep set in a little but I think I found a fun little car that will put some smiles on track even if its not the quickest.
A covid defying trip to Newcastle Upon Tyne followed after a fairly cheeky ebay bid was accepted. And make the familiar journey home. Has a lot of stuff done that Id want but still enough tinker potential to keep me busy. The aftermarket scene is crazy for these and parts are so cheap. I can get a whole catback for less than the tailpipes cost on my 911!
Anyway enough waffle, here she is. Far from pretty but Ill get it tidied up in the coming months alright. And a years ticket into the bargain!
Plans are the usual tidy up and make sure its running 100% then better brakes and some R888rs and Im good to go!
