Tempted to part-ex my MY06 Spec C Type-RA for this, but I don't honestly think I would really see any difference, maybe if it were in blue....

I've seen lots of people advertising as "This car lapped nurburgring in under 8 mins)"

I thought it was a Spec C prototype.

Have seen it on Spec C's, RA's and RA R now. Which one was it?

lOOks in white.

And how come all these specials have Too Fast Too Furious rear spoilers? (Just weight?)

No bucket seats in the Litcho car probably some other differences. I have to be careful though as some say I am biased

Notice how Litcho have "copied" the PCM load up screen for the pics ... PCM's have always done that whilst Litcho have only just started doing it.

The pics on PCM's site are taken from the STI site and are not actual pics of the car that he may be supplying. At least with Litcho's RA-R you can see real pics of the actual car that is for sale

I think you'll find that the 'load up' screen for the pics was used by Litcho on the official Type-25 website, which was up and running before PCM's site.

^^ Mr RA.

We now know that it's not apples for apples - used car on Litcho site, new car on PCM's (I hope that he does get those seats though as they look awesome!). Re the load up screens I've never seen Litcho use them on his "main" site (& yes I look at it regularly) whereas PCM has always used them. Chicken & egg

TX.

PS

It looks like I'm not the only biased one around here

All the RA-R's have been sold though, so a second hand car is the only one you'd be able to buy one. If PCM does in fact have a new one for sale (and I'm not saying he doesn't) then wouldn't it be better to host pics of the actual car and not pics taken from the STI site?

As for the 'load up' screen thingy, I find it really childish that you even pointed it out in the first place. Regardless of whether of not Iain has only now started using it on his main site, the fact remains that he used it first on his T25 wesbite, so if anything it could be suggested that PCM has copied Litcho's style of the T25 site.

Maybe. But to even think something like and then to post up about it really is childish, so I felt compelled to comment.

Does it really matter? They're both car sales places.. all I'd be interested in is which one I could bitch at to get the biggest discount

(No offence... )

Please remind me how I have commented in a child like manner? All you have done is post up a stupid comment in the first place about people copying other people, which in fact turned out to be completely wrong anyway. You sound like a some whinging school kid complaining to the teacher about the kid sitting next to you who is copying your answers down.

I'm sure there is a Tellytubbies forum or something out there that you may be more on your level.

If it didn't matter then you would not have posted about it in the first place.

So I suggest you may be the only one to be able to answer that question.

Got to agree with mr ra, the type 25 website has had that screen for ages now and the bucket seats were an extra on the RA-R, though as far as im aware, Litchfields is the only company with a euro IV model report for this vehicle, though if juggers wishes to say he too has a euro IV model report available for this car, that would do for me

question;why is the car so dirty inside especially passenger side footwell, would this car have been given a ragging around the docks by the hobnailed boot brigade??
