The floor pan is from a saph cosworth 4x4 shortened and made wider for the karman body to fit with the wide arches, what ever you want to call it the average price for them is 15K for an older big turbo model for a good one, mint will be more at the 20k price range.

Well, I've posted my bit - won't say what it is though...I'm sure if enough people on here have posted then it'll 'catch JC's eye'.

More (in)fame for Scoobys!

Thanks for your message. If it catches Jeremy's eye we're sure he'll mention it on the programme, and we'll be posting some of the best ones on the Top Gear website.

That's an auto response from the BBC Top Gear Web pages....

What is more sad, the fact that this thread exists, or the fact that other boards are writing about it!?

I wouldn't get too upset about TG, JC et al change their minds like the wind changes direction, the whole concept is based around the use of throw away lines and renewal. As soon as something is released it is superceded, the chaps in IT should very well know this to be true.

Thumbs up

It'll be very funny if he reads what I wrote as I didn't exactly complain about the Scooby being crock, unlike everyone else!

PS - are you sure that's an auto-response? It was sent to my private email account.

akshay67 - yup it will be an autoresponder, it will have picked up the address you sent from or the one you entered on the web form. Common feature of most mail servers, saves them having to individually respond to thousands of people

This is priceless! You lot just can't stand the fact that Cossies and Integrales will always be classics, whereas your sad Pikey Wagons are destined for obscurity.

...and as for the comment about Cossies and council houses - take a look round your nearest estate. Wall to wall Imprezas.


Happy Christmas, Losers

Wouldn't take my car through a council estate, buggers would have the wheels off in no time. Mind you don't think they would fit on an Ford.

Stu,

...6 CONSECUTIVE WRC Wins. The ONLY car to win every year it was entered. To be a classic, you need a pedigree.

sorry ROB16V, i meant 6 "CONSECUTIVE" WRC titles a feat that i doubt they will manage.

looks like there getting there blue bobble hats in a twist, but i'm not sure why surely they'll be jumping on the next big fashion statement.
is the mini not the new impreza?? or is that so out these days oh i just cant keep up.
