It looks bloody awful in pink. Should take it off him, slap him about a couple of times and make him respray it the original colour.

I loved that car in the blue, so much so I set it as my desktop picture

Lol - have to say I like it in pink!

Just to be controversial! All beefed up with wide arches and girly pink.

Its a Nova contradiction - but looks good!

i reckon it looks goo dlike that too.

not as good as it did before obviously but i reckon it suits it looking like that for the job it's doing now > a nice shade of baby pink to make it look more innocent :D

In my opinion, it has went from being a minter of a motor to an absolute shed. Usually the reverse happens after about 10 pints, oh no, thats a dog and a fox :D

lol at Ben!! still a dodgey subject!

Ian i missed that photo when i flicked through them.

Will posession is 9/10's of the law so you have to take it that its gone!!

The colour doesn't bother me too much, it kinda grows on ya. i guess its been growing on tilly for some time now as she has a likkle tiny think about the colour pink!

Its putting out 210bhp at the flywheel. 1600 16v with a lot done obviously!!

lol
that was what i built it for. i used it as a road car and someone else wanted it before i got a chance to get it prep'd for rallying.
It definately wasn't build for driving around at 40mph!!!

so what work has been done to achieve 200+ bhp.

I guess its silly money, but I would still like to see the spec.

brian
