You should ALL recognise that car... ;)

Especially you 2 (Chris and Jason). Look closely at the bottom left of the rear windscreen.

A f@*&in expensive one.... sorry, I'm having a bad cage day - been phoning more cage people - not good!

I forgot you sold fioner without her name tag carl :D

edit: actually carl, could you ask him how much his cage cost? - I'm desperate for a cage I can afford!

editedit: on closer inspection it doesn't look like it has a cage - cheers carl

Fioner!? Hahahaha, fair, I knew I recorgnised the flipping thing from somewhere, couldn't work out why I knew the plate though, must have seen a piccy when you sold it.

And no, it's not a cage you're right mate, the quick glance I picked up the quarterlight bar and the seatbelt :D

I'd be very interested those :-) I've never been round in a 360, and the times from the 1.4 343 weren't that great, obviously ...
