mona Unregistered M	Originally Posted By: Cappo Wow, there's a part of me that's always wanted something like that in my fantasy garage! It was immaculately resto'd - really stood out I can yell ya! It was totally open as well (beware the seagulls of Caernarfon!) so I had a good look inside - it had a tiller style steering & a little plastic bottle (similar to one's you get on bikes) in the cockpit footwell that was linked by pipe to the windscreen as a crude washer! $\:D$ Wouldn't like to crash in one though ... $\:\($ Profile view Rear view Cockpit view

Nobby Unregistered N	Today was quite a car enthusiasts dream if you lived in the Northamptonshire area. Spotted many many skylines, RX7s, GTiRs and evos heading for Silverstone. Obviously there was plenty of exotica at Auto italia. But the highlight.......... 3 Capri lasers and a 2.8i Granada heading in mini convoy along the A43 $\:\)$

JamieS Unregistered J	Popped into Sainsburys in Chiswick yesterday afternoon and spotted a GT3 RS - Or at least what i thought was a GT3 RS -It actually turned out to be a GT3 MR. Painted in what looked like that blackboard-type paint... it looked very mean indeed $\:\/$ I've never heard of them before but a friend at work immediately said "Manthey Racing"
