This is my mums new weekend toy so thought id post some pics up, had a shot, car is awesome, still running it in(100 miles on it) but still a hoot to drive(almost as much fun as my old Elise). Its number 500 of 835.







This car is very loud, awesome noise comes from that Remus system. Gotta love a nice, clean looking hot hatchsmile

I'm not sure I like it you know? The wheels remind me of the 'sporty' MG's! Still, I bet it's fun to drive! Cool that your Mum owns it too! biggrin

Had a lap in one of these around Oulton with a BTCC driver at a recent VXR track day - an absolute storming machine. coming fron a 260bhp Scooby wasn't expecting much but was a blast.

a superb car
