Indeed you can, it makes for a very nice drive, instant pull in any gear. Best to keep it in the selectable gears for a spirited drive, or plonk it in D for the most relaxed drive ever.

Cost= Enough.

People on here including me, will keep these sort of figures close to the chest usually because they are scared to admit to themselves how much they have spent let alone other people.

Yes it is still for sale, but it looks like its being broken into bits very shortly.

:lol: I'll tell ya!

Over £5000 is somewhere in the region of what I've spent on my car so far, and you'll never be happy once it's 'finished' you'll just go searching for more power.......which is what I'm doing so that'll be another 6 or £700.

All good fun though :)

Wow, when I look back at the money I've spent of cars over the last 5 years, and only this one works!
