HURRRRAAAAA!!!!

Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

Well it still needs tax and insurance. There is also a water leak but thats not bad to sort. IE i know where its coming from, i also need to mod teh bumper more as the cooler makes it sit funny and it then it touches the wheels. :(

i would want one, must weigh about as much as my left shoe, with a b18ft it might be rapido! :rofl:

renault 4 just for dave

but sadly perhaps someone has beaten us all to it?

interesting

if we're going down the stupidly light french rocket, with added uniqueness then this! would be my choice, you've got to admire the engineering if nothing else.
