I'm viewing a car on Wed morning, if its not the car for me this will definitely be next to see, comfortably under budget so would give scope for some upgrades

After a 200 mile round trip to sunny(!!!) Leicestershire today I can now say that I'm a soon to be Seight owner - I wasn't sure if an Seight would be the car for me, let alone a bored and stroked 5.1 litre Seight but the noise and quality of components made the purchase a no brainer - even if it meant I went over budget

Simple explanation, Ian dropped me a line at the weekend, few emails exchanged re: the car, trip today to see it, deal struck to buy

I wish all the people I bought from made the process so simple and straightforward

[Thrustyjust]

Well its a hell of a car . Lets hope he gets a more road focused car, but well done for buying it. Just take it easy and enjoy !!
