Getting my new car tomorrow
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.

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.

Re: Getting my new car tomorrow
Probably a long shot, Mini Cooper GP? Cant really think of anything else that has two seats apart from something like a 430 Scuderia

Re: Getting my new car tomorrow
Did they do a short run Integra Type R with a rear bench (i.e. no back seat)?

Re: Getting my new car tomorrow
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:

Re: Getting my new car tomorrow
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 :)

Re: Getting my new car tomorrow
Great looking car, I think I prefer the 5 spoke cooper wheels to the 4 spoke GP ones.
