Matt - at the last weigh in the clio weighed 1.86 tonnes
Cub - 2009 XK's are still a bit steep cash wise these days. The Supra will be a fairly cheap build
I was thinking of leaving the spoiler off but it does look wrong without one I think. It will be a relatively small one though so not to...
The Supra will be finished before the Clio now. It should be done for August/September all being well.
