    Nice Bodykit!!! personally i would have probably stuck some works VS-xx rims instead of those ones.

    Yes, it was the Schnitzer front splitters and rear diffuser.

    I really had a thing about those Schnitzer Type V's at the time, but they were stupidly expensive (£4695) and were prone to corroding (i had three replaced under warranty). Wouldnt do it again.

    My current beasty:

    Owned her for about 6-7 years now although half of that time she's been in my garage while I installed her new heart.

    She's running now though. :D

    She's the first car I really started doing proper mechanical/engineering work on although the bug first bit on my old Saab 96 which was a corker of a car.

    Dream car's prob a Noble or a Dodge Challenger (new or old).

    Ultima GTR

    Topgear refused to put this on their test track, some owners rented the track and it beat every car Topgear have ever tested :p

    Why did they refuse? it's a Kitcar ;)

    I don't think that would pass the "can it get over a speedbump" test. Same reason they disqualified the Caparo T1.

    I thought they'd put one of the cateringvan's (Caterham) round the TG track?

    The Ultima is rather droolworthy. :D

    ^^ Caterham yes but never a Westfield, which is a far superior breed of 7.

    Or even the 4x4 Cosworth or V8 powered Dax Rush, looks Caterham(esque) but has 4 wheel drive and was or still is the fastest car on the planet with 0-100mph and back to 0mph in 6.5 seconds.

    I think the Caterham gets a showing because they can paint it out to be a non-kitcar.

    I've had my '95 5 series BMW tourer 1.8i for 5 years, and I still love it.
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.
