This one is Viper blue so its ALOT brighter than my last one. Just the w**k iphone in the dark photo.

Just worked out it did 29mpg today!
 
f***s sake! How is it possible that a 2 litre hatch gets worse mpg than a TVR?
I thought it did look a bit lighter, although I did really like the colour of your old one.. looked classy. Need to see this in person!

Drop me a PM when your back up!

It is a 3.6 but it's only pulling 1040kg along!

Not sure if I like the rear of these.

Still, it's a TVR so it's ok.

I'm not sure on the back either, it looks tiny compared to my T350 which is odd as they share the same chassis and half the body work!

Hero though. Makes me lol you going back to the moat. Bet you miss that beast.

Sell the OH and the house and sleep in a Sag?

Sold that M3 yet?

Joey i've never fitted them in my life!

Few pics from this morning. I'd forgotten how hard these are to drive in the wet with bald tyres. My todo list is massive!

good move, you will appreciate the noise even more with the roof down. What back box has it got or is it standard?

Also watch the rear screen in the cold as they split really easily and can easily catch in the roof support rails. Also check the trim around the windscreen and where the roof meets the frame as the frame rust from the inside. that's how i lost my targa panel when pootling along a runway at 145! (these are things you might know but just my experience)

Love it mate, very jealous. The indy gone then?

Indy went Yesterday, and broke down with the new owner due to a buggered battery, which astounded me as its only 3 months old!

Pic of them together, before I took the indy to its new owner.

Cheers for the advice.

Its got the standard backbox on but with decats, it certainly doesn't sound as good as a JP with Cats though...

yeah i had a jp box and it makes all the difference really. I might also have some new exhaust hangers knocking around so if you do change it and they need replacing let me know and you can have them.
