Thanks for all the nice words people!
I would quite like some williams wheels for it, refurbished in gloss black with a silver lip, that would look awesome.
For now though all my cash (of which there is very little) needs to go on a new steering column as its got too much play in it so the usual 'sharp' handling is sort of lost, theres not much feeling to it when you can turn the wheel through 30 degrees of lock and nothing happens!
Might get some vids tonight if i go out in it.

Its not big and its not very clever, the sound is pretty crap due to the digital stills camera it was recorded on, and i couldnt give it a full run through the gears due to the urban area.
In real life it sounds a lot more throaty with more of a roar and its much less 'boomy', the induction noise is amazing.
Anyway here it is.

I said the exact same thing to my mate when i took him out in it.
When you floor it and the induction kit starts to suck like a 2 bob whore and the magnex exhaust system really opens up it almost has a warble like a boxer.
We should have a mini-meet one weekend and ill give you a ride in it!
