Getting my new car tomorrow

[philg]

I have taken the plunge and got myself a daily driver, its a bit sooner than planned but the gt is just not panning out like i thought it would and its in bits again, hopefully should have the gearbox out this week.

I was going to wait till aug time before buying a car and then tuck up the gt for winter but im really sick of pedalling to work.

I wanted a mk2 focus rs, but im probably loosing my business in a few months so its a bit silly to spend all that cash when i will be out of work very soon. Buying this will leave me a nice nest egg, if it takes a while to find work to.

Anyway i toyed with a civic type r old and new shape as well as a 172 and 197 and even another evo :scared:

I will get some pictures up tomorrow.

A few clues, limited edition only 2000 were made, 2 seats and a lighter version than the standard car, residuals should be really good to.

hehe ah i see..

Me and my friends usually speak about a daily as somthing we can tow with, rally through a field with, put though a hedge and run on just about no income at all. :p:p

What the ones that don't start? Just 500 of those made and a fair few less than that now, will be a future classic but can be had fairly cheaply now which I don't really understand.

[Adey aka Ewok]

[g10far]

Probably a long shot, Mini Cooper GP? Cant really think of anything else that has two seats apart from something like a 430 Scuderia

[Trevhib]

Did they do a short run Integra Type R with a rear bench (i.e. no back seat)?

[going_downhill]

An Elise?

I have to say its great, i used to love my old cooper s, they really have a grin factor.

Its done 28000 miles and 3 previous owners.

Had it 1hr and i was already giving it the once over at work, inside is all done, going to clay bar the get my buffer on it tomorrow :)

I really fancy changing the wheels, they are a little bit corroded and in need a proper diamond cut to refurb. Im not that fussed on the 4 spokes tbh, i will keep them because i know how anal people are about changing things on limited cars. So im looking out for a set of 18" original jcw wheels like i had on my old cooper and will fit some non run flats.

Just like these :smokin:

911 GT3RS :p

[Trevhib]

I think the GP wheels are one of the best things about that car Phil.

Ok, let's not go round that one again :laugh:

[BriC]

Mmmmm... very nice :agree:

[D4WNO]

[philg]

Thanks for the nice comments.

I have had all the hair dresser jokes from my mates, in fact i got them with my old coops, did not put me off.

It might end up coming to ND :)

Great looking car, I think I prefer the 5 spoke cooper wheels to the 4 spoke GP ones.
