Old skool Rallycross-esque-ness. I'm into it.

The Diamond White refers to the interior of the shell.

It'd look good in the company of other contemporary Rallycross cars (because that's the type of car it most resembles...)

I like it regardless (apart from perhaps the blacked out rear clusters - but that's nitpicking).

I usually like this sort of thing, especially if well done like this one seems to be. However for some reason if doesn't float my boat at all, I'd much prefer a standard looking, but 500bhp, Cossie.

My real question is how did somebody that can't spell or use a spell check get the funds for a car like that!

What I want to know is, why the majority of people who post car ads on ebay can't spell or use a spell checker?

Is spelling not a requirement in England anymore?

Swap the rims out, they are the deal breaker right now, with something 7/5 spoke the car would look immense.

You'd think people would proof read their ads before submitting them.
One would imagine the writer was of substandard education.

I'm always a tad suspicious when someone spends multi £10k's to build a car then sells it straight away at a loss ...

Being able to spell isnt a guarantee of financial success, not beign able to isnt a guarantee of being destitute, somtimes people work cash in hand doing manual kind of work and pay little tax or own their own company and have people to do the spelling for them.

Like the car, not sure about the white inserts ont he rims though, not for me but can see the appeal.
