Ah okay, that's a bit silly but in that case definitely better to wait.

High or Low spec?
Agree with Sav that is seems a bit silly, the bank is the prob, but Way better to wait. Getting low spec. Other car is a Lotus 7, very keen on rear wheel drive, lightweight, simple cars.
Would've liked the running lights though.

You getting high or low?

HAving a ball. Went looking for drags last night in the west. Drove around for a while and then decded against it. I am luving every minute of the car. Still have no idea what the actual fuel consumption is supposed to be. I take every corner too fast and too wide, just to hear the tyres squeel and the bum move around.

Not to be nasty, but what's the point of taking an 86 to the drags?
