Title: New ( old ) car tonight
Post by: omegod on 17 May 2014, 16:28:18

Off to Halifax to pick up a new project car this evening, always wanted one of these but it's 20 yrs old and has a weeks MOT left so the return journey may prove interesting! 200 BHP and my first turbo powered car :y

Wish me luck :o

Pics later!

looking at the engine bay, plenum design very effective and so is the turbo location.. :y

That is bloody lovely. I am a member and fan of RR, but I fear if I put it in the favourites bar, I'll end up single and homeless by the combined efforts of the Halifax, and MrsGK...
