sprint r
After a dissapointing day with the ultima I thought I would treat myself to a sprint r.
Cracking bit of kit,have to wait 8 weeks though
Nice to meet Chris Mason while I was down at Martins.

Unless it's yours chris
Wasn't I there as well?
Just ignore me you're all right........
cheers

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Hi Dilley
Good luck with the new venture that sprint r is a sweat looking car and should be a hoot to drive.
What colour you going for then??????
also dont forget to come back to me on what we spoke about today definately interested mate.
Good luck
Sean

Changed your mind again then?! Anyway, how am I supposed to go out in it with just 1 seat?

i fancy a sprint r but i wanted it with a zx12 or busa engine but when i spoke to martin whilst he was making my silencer he said the engines wouldnt
fit so i gave up the idea. iv got a m8 who wants to buy my car off me but he cant decide which car to sell ,his subaru or golf 32 but either way
he'll have to wait untill after the track day so that should give me some time to look for another kit

Besides, Ultimas are big smelly expensive cars, which have silly windows and would cost a fortune for new tyres and eat more fuel than you'd
probably believe.
And you'll get even more looks at the fuel pumps in the Sprint R, just won't have that buxom blonde on your arm.

I think you'd find that most women would actually not be that keen in being ferried around in an Ultima regardless of how the bloke feels about
it, difficult to get into, noisy, brutish, weird looking and embarrassing thing, would probably be their view.
Then again the sprint isn't much better but at least she doesn't have to be seen in it. Most seem to prefer a (non rust bucket) classic
car.

No,a car has not gone through sva yet,the cars that have been sold so far have been track cars,they have one in build at the moment that is to be the
1st car to go through sva,speaking to them yesterday,there will be 2 cars on track at kit car live at brands this year,looking forward to seeing
that,although passenger rides could prove a little difficult

A very good write up in the magazine Sean,are you being tempted.All positive,and the guy who wrote the report starts by saying he's not keen on
bike engine cars,so thats another convert.
