...well almost

I've agreed a deal on an orginal 2.5GTO (I just had to have those chattering darth vaders)
10k miles, well looked after, titanium example (with ECU upgrade) for a price, well, lets just say it might as well be trade.

going on hols for 2 weeks and will pick it up soon thereafter....

...no longer will I feel like the (made to feel welcome, but nonetheless...) alien interloper!

and no longer to I have to miss out on the noble experience while awaiting news on the M12 Targa.

Counting the hours (or should that be seconds?)

Thanks Ash,

could be

test drove it back to back with a GTO3, and while the later car feels more grown up...it is the noise of those turbos that stirs my soul and there isn't sufficient difference in feel/performance for me to warrant paying at least 9k more (or 30%) for the privilege.

I am a happy man.

You should have what I did...ordered a 3R with the torbos/filters in the original positions! Martin

I'm a lucky boy.. My GTO3 came with all the sucking and blowing bits in the original places... Darth Vader anyone.!

[kentviking]

All good advice, but chances of getting a 3 litre M12 for less than 30k are...well about zero...at least for another 12m.

...no I'll happily bank the saving for an M12 targa or M14 a little later along the line.
