View Full Version : Spotted: Turbo2, M1/Luton roadworks
And it looked/sounded the don :)
Red, stickered up, and heading northbound through the roadworks about half 2/3pm ish yesterday.
I was travelling southbound, but spotted it a mile off - The noise as it went past made me realise I need another 5 (albeit GTT) in my life...

Third pic down is a red 5 turbo, its is in the maidenhead area but does get used, mostly track I think.
Shoppers, talk to me :)

Bets on, valver lump out of red 5 and going in van, hence red 5 up for sale soon.

Like this idea, blast it, possibly have the welding done if not a bank breaker and dip it. Someone would be interested in it surely..

About a solid months work required just to get the shell in any sort of order .I've got a local guy that does shot blasting ( gently ) Strict instructions not to go anywhere near the roof ;)

Wow. That was a joy to peruse. I couldn't help but look at all 308 pics :)
So, Clee, is your garage kitted out like that and do you have 3 expert Finnish mechanics on a retainer for the next year or so? :D
Swedish exchange students .They do it all by hand or using their arses as formers :coffee::D
