You've got to ask yourself why...

I see so many cars for sale from this company and they are all good cars until they get their hands on them and Chav them up.
take this one for example, tv screens, PS2, tyres which are WAY too low profile for a 1970 Caddy and then of all things to write Djibril Cisse on the seats!!?!?!! (Footballer) WTF are they doing?

My opinion, too.

All their cars are WAY over-priced too . . . . . They have a showroom in London I believe . . . . have heard some iffy things about them

I have too, even by the looks of the engine bay piccys on that car (just not clean) it indicated that they've emphasized on adding the gadgets & toys rather than actually doing anything to complement the cars themselves. even the install on the headrest TVs is shoddy, i.e. you can still see the wires, IMO if you are going to have those sorts of things installed professionally it should be seamless.

That's just a crying shame what they've done to that poor Caddy.

yup have to agre.....WHY!!

Mustangus · August 14, 2006, 05:10:55 AM

I went over to their place in london about 6 months ago to look at this one

as i thought I'd try and save it from being 'pimped'. Still think it'd look cool in black and fixed up.
Anyway, walked away as I really didnt like the look of their set up, maybe just me but def had a bad vibe

Too bad you walked away from this one mate. T-Top Cutlasses from the early 80's are rare even over here. Would have made a crackin ride! Carl

I think its still for sale as that ebay auction ended a couple of days ago and didnt meet reserve so could probably call them and get it. When I went to look it was up for 1950 quid but reduced to 980 which is why I went to look.
If I'd bought it though I couldnt have got my stang!

sixpack2639 · August 14, 2006, 08:52:05 AM

Mustangs are nice mate but there a dime a dozen anymore. EVERYBODY has one. Mine is a '65.

Currently undergoing a driver resto. Have finished the motor rebuild and now replacing the front floor pans and i'm gonna paint the top white. The wife likes the turquoise color but says theres too much of it. LOL

Mustangus · August 14, 2006, 08:55:24 AM

Nice stang, TBH I really wanted an early 65 coupe as I think they are the nicest looking

Its true but thats part of the reason I wanted one, easy to get parts and info so a good first yank me thinks

sixpack2639 · August 14, 2006, 09:01:49 AM

I see your point. Hope you have a lot of good times in her mate!

BTW, I should have said my wifes Mustang. This is my baby...1951 Buick Special Tourback Sedan, Straight 8 263ci 3 speed manual box with 92,000 on the clock.

Mustangus · August 14, 2006, 09:12:21 AM

That looks like a pretty good car from the piccys, something I would be open too for a winter car while the IROC is hibernating

Mmm another nice car

I take it you dont do many miles tho lol!!

sixpack2639 · August 14, 2006, 01:44:36 PM

Just bought the Olds last year with 34,000 on it. Bought my Buick almost 2 years ago and have only put about 1200 miles on it since. Don't have any pics of the wife's grocery getter but it's a 1996 Ford Ranger Splash 2.3l 4 pot with a 5 speed manual box. 102,000 on the clock. Black with fiberglass bed cover, sun roof, purple neon lights underneath, alarm system. It's currently at my mates with the box sitting in the bed as the slave cylinder packed up. Should have it back on the road Wednesday.
