    I have to say that this must be the most cost-efficient bit of 'fun' in my experience. £1350 basic cost (throw in an extra £50 or so for the train fare, I won't count the inspection trip) and I was gob-smacked at the Flux quote of £255 comp. < 5K miles! You can get 35mpg out of it too, if that's not too hard to believe?
    That's a very good price for the car!

    Tim I totally agree with you, no point in working hard and not enjoying yourself.

    The coupe?
    Boooring! Nah, mate, as all cars have characters which need to be acknowledged by personalisation.

    Don't you find that rather long to type every time though?

    Good work Albert! I'd have another one of these in a crack! Sprint blue would be my colour of choice too.
    A lot of people like it but I personally couldn't live with tan leather, don't think I could bring myself to have a car with tan....

    With the decat. pipe, plain steel centre and stainless backbox, it's really nice. Throaty burble most of the time, but a not too excessive roar under boost in low gears, not too noticeable at high speeds as the HU can easily cope or the interior A/C or heater fan override it.
