Yeah, although most people who don't have a particular interest, generally don't have many ambitions big or small and don't see the point of doing anything other than drugs and alcohol because it's "not fun" or w/e.

everyone should be a mechanic! :)

i think it myt b a mayfair ( hard 2 tell ) its a 998cc preety much standard but gotta admit it she is a total flyer !! beats alot of race engines !! evrything is lightweight on her she has weller wheels with hakkas on ( by the way they r the best tyre u can get i recon ) im not sure of the year either because where it is stamped usally ( under the throttle pedal ) has been replaced but do know she is later than a 68" because u can see the holes for internal door hinges.all bits hav been de-skinned ( less weight ) the alot of it is the sme as i baught it ( £1000 ) but she will need a new wing nw as i took abit of damage 2day ( nipped a citron ax )



yea it is good fun aint it shifty ? bit costly tho but compared 2 su standards i hav spent very little (car has cost me about £1500 in total ) sum people spend about £8000 4 brand new carz but its all 4 fun in the end aint it? all that money onli gives u a tiny bit extra anyway ! u dont hav 2 hav moey 2 hav fun or win !
