Build quality's not there and some have reliabilty issues, but I think they're an awesome little blast. Enjoy What year, colour, mileage etc?

Enjoy What year, colour, mileage etc? 03 plate, metallic blue 55k FRSH mint cond full mot 4 new tyres 6mths tax, £4.5k and goes like stink, no abs, no traction control, thinner windows, no air con, no sound proofing, everything is shaved off at the factory on cup models to save weight, great little track car, proper old school driving.

JonC Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Sounds a great buy. You probably won't loose much if anything when you come to re-sell in September, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes thats the idea JC, should get my money back on it at end of Aug, its a mile apart from A Vw but good fun for now, the waiting game begins yet again :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac_Terrorist Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Sounds like a great little motor. I was recently reading about the new Cup model - quite a focussed bit of kit! I'm not a big fan of lot of kit in cars. I sometimes wish that cars would go back to how old beemers and VW's used to be when you specced stereo, e/windows, central locking etc etc. One of the cars I had most fun in was a 1985 XR2; no extra's, no power steering, just a car that communicated well with the driver compared to modern more muted varients.
