Nice car mate, well jelous.

If it was mine id take the morettes out, look ten times better without, just my opinion ofcause.

Keighley Trade Centre, hahaha, that was the first place i went to look for an R, what a load of shit, i traveled a near 250mile round trip to look at bags of shit, i was lied to by them "ahh yes the car is in fantastic condition, low miles blah blah blah" only when i arrived i realised the guy was talking out of his ****, the car was a shambles, it was a white R looked like it was painted in tipp-ex, bits missing from interior, and industrial rivets holding the wind deflectors on, nice.

Since i went up with the lads, we just had a look around and had a good laugh at all the sheds, i mean cars, that were there, while doing so, we stumbled on the "back yard" where there was a load of crash damaged cars, which im sure they just tart up and sell, probably explains the condition of the other cars there.

And you know when you buy from keighley, the cars have been well looked after dont you, i mean they give all their cars a good seeing over while they are in their posession, a good ol' red line rev everytime they move their cars, straight after starting it up, and continue to do so because it "sounds wicked bruv dunnit?" you would not expect less from such a reputable dealer.

But seriousley, the place is a car graveyard, steer clear.

where abouts in Edinburgh is it? i could get a heads up on the car for you from the RS nuts i know if you want?

Chris, very very nice, excellent spec with rebuild and looks far better than any pulsar, Evo or scoob, hope it drives well. Hopefully see it as the pod some time. What's the bhp for that time of spec?

You'll have every car wanting to race you.

Their is a shell garage just as the m74 runs into the M6 mate.

No idea about in between where you're picking it up and there though.

[chrisniss91]

Well it was either her go on her own or me go with her sister tues/wed which she wouldnt allom lol. So shes going alone, she fly's out of luton at 16.30 tomorrow.

 

[Fire & skill]

theres a Shell garage at Dreghorn on the Edinburgh city bypass, im sure Hamilton services is also Shell. theres enough garages on the M6 / M74 / A74 for her to have plenty choice on fuel!

depends which way she is going home - Haddington is pretty much on the A1, if going that way home via Newcastle etc then there is a shell at Berwick

 

[chrisniss91]

Kelli here. Got the car home safe and sound, without a scratch, mark or dent on it. thank god. I was under strict instructions from Chris, Like dont go too behind lorries as they flick up stones etc!! It took 7 hours in total to get home, we havent really slept as we are back out in it!!

 

[a11ova]

Lovely car there mate. Always fancied a cossie, just dont think it will fit in me garage and aint leaving any of my cars in the street as bad past experiences. Look after her and you can actually make money on them as good ones are fetching silly money.

shame same thing cant be said about an 'R'
