Always thought that car looked the balls.

Many doors, but I'll forgive that as it looks harder than my nanas feet.

yes but i dont know for how long :evil: some thieving scumbag tried to steal my motor the other night, damaged 2 doors, the front splitter is hanging off, a piece of the kit is now missing, smashed the drivers side rear 3/4 window, twisted the steering colum thus killing the two stalks (the ignition barrel has been twisted nearly 90 degrees anticlock wise), broke the ignition surround, trailed the choke cable right out of the dash and also managed to burn out the starter. worst bit is the only got it about 400 yards down the road
left it up at a mates yard gonna get a closer look at it during the week. gonna start lookin on the forum and see what i can get my hands on, if anyone knows of some bits goin and if overseas are willin to post pm me :(
