Turbo with RWD, and near Edinburgh, and going for coupons

Thoughts?

The turbo should enable easy sideways action, as these things are popular with the drifting community.......and i don't mean pikees

So who up for a bit of a purchase? Ed, Tom, Shoomer, DDTB.............

Go on then £50 from me too and my mechanical expertise.

Only thing I'd point out is that the reserve ain't met and he has set it at £1200!!!!

Plus... it's not a Capri...

If it goes for around £250 though.... count me in as a shareholder!!

Turbo may not be ideal for autotest (IMHO):

High Power = good

Turbo Lag = unprogressive power delviery

making for a 'bit of a handfull' to drive; i.e. mid corner, here comes the turbo.. and we've spun! okay if the turbo can be kept spinning, or can be driven so that it kicks in just when you want it. Are turbo's adjustable?.. i.e. run at at lower pressure to cut lag issues.

Do you know the reserve?

No idea mate. Thought it could be good fun though, and my uncle has one, so the wacky races would be well and truely on
