Hi mate. Nah I havn't times it yet - just driven it down the road a couple times.
I wouldn't like to say any figures - but it seems quick! Struggle for traction in 1st, get the power down in 2nd for a tiny bit - and I'm at 60 (pretty much gets to 6k straight away when you change into 2nd). Not sure how accurate the clock is though.

Ah that colour scheme is too cool
I saw a Mark 1 Astra (Kadett D) in that colour scheme not too long ago, except it had a black boot lid as well. Had deep dish alloys and tartan upholstery and looked bloody gorgeous

Seems to do the trick haha. When I first nailed it in the higher gears, i glanced down at the speedo as was like "no way!". Makes a change from my Sierra! |

Propper beast, check your speed! |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

Jesuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus, what about that video!!!! That's awesome man! The pics look great too- car looks super mean in its backroad-racer type glory - personally I love the different front and rear wheels,looks superbad! The interior is brilliant too, totally 70's clean dash plus rollcage and race seat - its on the "want" list................. ;D
