Had two GT750s. Heavier, rear disc is a waste of time, but the front pads don't fall out when they wear down too much.

I think a 550 with 750 front end would be a good combination.

WOOD!

Back in the day, you could buy a Skorpion Cup for £4k, but these limited edition Race Replicas with WP suspension and all that jazz were IIRC £6250 new. I may even have a brochure for one somewhere, that I got at the time, as I'm quite partial to a thumper.

I was thinking about going to look at this old Wolseley tomorrow but just found out he bought it at auction last month for 1600 quid. He is taking the piss with the pricing so fuck it I don't think I will bother now. I can't see he has added 2k's worth of value by washing it.

Probably closer to it's actual worth. Banger boys will shell out 4 figures for a half decent shell.

Car might be OK but can't stand blatant profiteering and 'flipping'. Alright if they run it for a year and bring it up to scratch but the spit 'n shine I'll take your dime boys can get to fuck.
