I remember that car met the owner a few times down Southend. He use to run a Saab T3 turbo. On the boards his login was something to do with manatees.

I doubt it as they wasn't impressed with my T3 conversion back in 2003 just kept on saying there would be to much lag. But that might be due to there Biggest turbo retailed for over 1k +VAT back then and mine was under £500. lol

Cant remember the blokes name but your talking about the blue 5 with pink cage in? He always loved talking about manatees for some reason :laugh: if its same person not that far away from me, bits got stolen off the car and thats the last I heard from it. Was a very good engine if it is the same person

If I`m correct someone called Stuart used to own it and then Alex from Southend bought it and then broke it due to the amount of rust and it falling to bits even though on top the bodywork was in very good condition
