That's it, I'm going to become a scrappy!

I don't think the original owner will be available for comment...

as is normal for Doogie.... I seriously doubt he had to pay anything for it at all

998 or 1100cc motor - big gap between 2 & 3, so isn't a 1275

Why do people not read posts :oops: :twisted: the car had no wheels on it, they put it on my trailer with a fork lift, the front wheels are 12" superlights, cause it has 8.4 disc brakes on the front.

The rears are contessa's, i put the wheels on it so i can roll it off the trailer in the morning.

Is that all clear now?
