Very strange. Have they just used different interior pics for the advert?

boy racer making up stories about 3 grand worth of work that cant be proved

He let the mature face slip when he started talking about "booting" it and putting "the pedal to the metal".

the buy it now is bizzare as well, why not auction it with the start price at that amount?

seems seriously dodgy to me!

I could be completely wrong, but there`s a fishy smell from the ad

\:D Other then the nice tacky tax disc holder there is one other very obvious wrong point with this car.

It's been left in neutral gear?

Any real Coupe owner would know to leave it in gear, due to the dodgy handbrake \:D

\:D

How can you tell from the pics that the gear knob is from an N/A?

You've had me looking at those s0dding photos and the description for ages \:D

I'll be going into work tomorrow and comparing my gearknob with the 20V N/A that we have there \:D

The n/a gear knobs are longer as they doesn't have the collar that has to be lifter to engage reverse.

Clock, heater dials, centre console, handbrake/gear lever console, door cards, off the top of my head.


16VT and X1/9 1500

We must all do our part for the planet.
I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

I was planning on an early night, as it's my night off from my second job tonight

This is the sort of time I'm normally on here

Having a night off meant that I was supposed to get forum reading/replying out of the way, catch up on everyday life and jobs, such as housework, etc., watch Clarksons new dvd, quick look back on here, then bed, BUT no, just stayed on here most of the s0dding night \:D

99T's had black sills.

Only the very late 20Vts had factory coloured sills.
