NOT!!! 
Unfortunately the Evo hunt is still on but is a slow process so in the mean time I got me the Dream Machine, this 1985, Reliant Rialto. We're going to be using as advertising vehicle during our relocation next month. I've actually grown quite attatched to it!
The Dream on purchase date:
Me in the Dream
The interior is shocking:
Dropped in Friday morning for a respray. 24 hours and £200 later she was back and looking fine:
The I put all the bits back on using dry walls:
And today, our guy came in and did the sign writing:
Next to some bag of shit:
She's gone from zero to hero in less than a week!
Next on the list is a C20LET, 4 pots and tubular manifold. Then subject to rules, I will start the bidding at £6500. NO OFFERS.
PS: Sad act grumpy men of CS, this is only a bit of fun. Sorry for any offence caused.

The guy who runs CarbonMods had one of these as his workhorse for years; engine was held in with a sock, it had been on its roof a ridiculous amount of times and in the end, he gave it away (well sold it for £1) to a guy doing the Staples to Naples rally for charity. He managed it and drove back (1700(ish) miles with the sock still holding the engine in!!

Wish I knew this about 2 weeks ago, just spent a large sum of money getting the roof replaced on our new place...

Fair play if thats what you want but i wouldn't totally disregard the 320s though as its just a plug and play piggyback ecu that gets the extra 20 bhp i think.
