chunkymonkey Posted January 17, 2009 Author Posted January 17, 2009 Aw man you are so damn lucky. next question can i have a shot ? sit your BARS test, and cross my palm with silver and of course you can!!
scouk Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 That's quite a catch! Any plans to use it instead of the classic? . o O (Makes we wanna spend a few days fown at the knockhill rally school to get a competition licence...)
chunkymonkey Posted January 17, 2009 Author Posted January 17, 2009 That's quite a catch!Any plans to use it instead of the classic? plan at this stage is to continue with the classic meantime, and its just been facelifted for the new season. we will then hire this new one and the classic on any events i'm not doing, to recoup a bit of the outlay, then do some testing after the season and see if i like LHD or not. will then see what the options are after that. to be honest i love the classic, but thought this was too good a price to pass on, given that it was probably a £60000 car when prodrive finished building it. if anyone is interested in either car for any event then we are open for discussions!

chunkymonkey Posted January 17, 2009 Author Posted January 17, 2009 What do the things on the struts do, is it a fncy braceGeoff the hose from the top of the struts is connected into the gold canisters which are part of the suspension damping.
RATechnology Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Just out of curiosity what's the build number on this car? Should have a Prodrive chassis plate in the engine bay? I might be able to find out a bit more info on history etc for you?
corsa Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Some people may not want to find out about the true history of certain cars!!!
chunkymonkey Posted January 18, 2009 Author Posted January 18, 2009 Some people may not want to find out about the true history of certain cars!!! meaning what Davie? i've got the original V5 here with Prodrive as the first owner. am i missing something???

LOL D thanks for that. you had me worried!!!! i'll hire it for anything so long as its suitably insured beforehand, or a bond provided against it. my partner in crime, Tim Finch will price up any deal on any event, so give it a go if you want to.
