We were away up at Eskdalemuir (SW Scotland) today having a drive, when my mate ran out of talent in his Rover. He had just polished it (for the first time ever, as he was selling it)
It has an Exige engine running ITB's, Emerald management and had Koni's all round amongst other goodies and went well! Roughly 180bhp RR'd
Driver and passenger were unharmed, and the car drove 60 miles back home fine!
Going to break the car and plough more money into his 220bhp Metro.

Shame about the car, bet it was a laugh to drive! Fail on his part in wasting money on a metro (regardless of engine).

Only thing the police could have got shitty about was the lack of windscreen and possible sharp edges. Tyres/lights etc were all fine!
