Very low price, probably need more than a few things fixing.

Anybody fancy paying over £3k for a diesel MK3 estate?

Saw a rather nice, red Nissan 370Z yesterday; watched a few videos on YouTube, which somehow led me to Peugeot RCZ R.

I forgot how highly rated dynamically they are. This is nice:

Sounds like it needs some development work, which could expensive, but this could be pretty awesome.

I'm sure I've seen that come up before. Not keen on the Vauxhall VX220 front :? but the concept (if not implementation) is pretty cool.

ETA: Rev beat me to it. I'm sure its a total dog in reality :lol:

Does seem familiar, but looks different.

And shit - it is clearly one of us..... :shock: "handbreak isn't working but it's a high spec hydraulic handbreak"

My favourite line is "It would need lights and a few minor mods to get it road legal but nothing that couldn't be done if you so wanted I'm told" Needs to squeeze "allegedly" in there too.

He's a rare thing: Pug 605 V6 SV

Fond memories of the V6 SVE we had for the Scumball donkeys years ago. All round great French barge, with a silky engine.

There's been one for sale on and off for something like 5yrs plus but had geometry issues and eating drive shafts/Prop shafts etc always been advertised as very sorted other than minor issues like that :lol:

Wasn't that the one that no one was able to get running correctly 2 years back? The bloke who 'made' it flogged it at a massive loss because there was some issue he wasn't able to resolve (IIRC).

Looks like they've finally got it working, whatever it was. Still, I reckon that'll be an absolute nightmare to keep running if (when) something goes wrong :lol:
