    Silly power claim aside, from the pictures it does look like quite a tidy car...

    Haha. Seems he's a bit eccentric to say the least. Advertising 300 BHP but cant confirm it. May as well say 500 if u can't confirm it...

    But as others said, underneath the bad advert it looks a half decent little 5

    Is it even running an air filter? Looks like it's got some sort of intake trumpet straight on the turbo

    That's a strange breather set up. Don't get me started on the coolant level or colour
