Tech 1 looks like a classic car

Tech 2 looks like an 80's icon

Depends what floats your boat. Tech 1 for me

Dave's tech 2 is by some way the best tech 2 i've ever seen though.....choices choices.....

What a pair of stunners, nice work there lads. I'd take either of those but the Tech 1 is my pick of the two, I just prefer pre-facelift cars.

Jeez your very right Jim. Tech 2 looks more of 80s icon with all the kit, a bit like a the batmobile kit but I still prefer the more lean looking Tech 1.

Interesting that the Tech1's seem to be getting a following, not long ago they were the underdogs
