Do you control it with a radio, or do you drive it?

No Ibb,the St's not for sale?????????? "gotta keep it??????!"Oh,it's Magmum grey and in pristine condition!!!!!But If ya offerin over 12K and i might?the reg is 2K if ya want it.
As for the the Toy, its a ppl carrier and brand new so I dont think it will do the FERRARI stageBut as for the DVD's in the head rests ya can watch all that on screen!

12k no less for the ST,small dent on drivers door(probably a woman with a shopping trolly)

12K will get ya a 68 camaro with a supercharged 350 motor and it will be worth more then 12k 10 years from now.

"An American Classic, Not Japanese Plastic"

Voo, I think you had a typo on the American car statement.[&o] Heck in japan they change out their engines when they reach 40k miles because the damn things cant even pass emissions anymore! The import 80's glory days are over man, they just are not the cars that people thought they were. I have not even seen a Japanese car that was made before 1990 on the road for over 3 years. What happened to them.... they caught on fire and blew up. Thats why more import manufacturers are buying American cars and re-badging them.

Whoops, I beter slow it down.... it seems that posts end up missing around here. HMMMMM is Sadamm monitoring these boards or something?[&o]

voo2doo You should have got a Zafira like me mate. 2.0 turbo, 200bhp and a family car all in one. Like the advert said Daddy Cool. No joking apart mate hope you enjoy your new toy.

That Scooby that you had is a far far far...better car than that focus and Toyota Verso T-Sprint...what car can corner at 80-100mph in the wet?, what car can handle like its on rails? and what car can keep up with a Ferrari 360 challenge Stradale on the ring? answer a Subaru Impreza WRX STi9....nuff said...or really any impreza wrx sti for that matter.

OI OI
sorry voo was looking for black and 12k is abit steep for me, not that i'm saying its over priced, sound right if low milage and showroom condition.
have never really liked front wheel drive, just feels wrong, (TO ME) but its just about all people make now a days
any sporty car is going to have been driven hard now and again,
personaly its bmw for me at the mo as we all know rear wheel drive is more fun
there loads of cars we would all have if we had the chance theres american muscle, jap turbo lag, german, and italian, british, swedish, cars on my lottery list

Why do so many people seem to go for a scooby when the EVO is far superior

Driven them both so have a personal opinion as well as factual.

Just wish I could afford either at the moment but saving my pennies for a honda accord at the end of the year[]

Sorry to say to all our friends in the USA, but your cars are rubbish. the build quality is a joke.
I work on them all day long in the UK. You now a HONDA panel is going to fit but a GM no way

Ive got an F-150 in for repair at the mo.

Be damned if I know how im gonna get it on my jig but they are not that hard to work on really. Never work on an old yank though. And to be honest ive only ever done one other yank before and that also was an F-150

Apart from the jig problem the only other thing thats gonna cause a problem is changing the chassis. Boy do we take on some hard jobs

Ill get some pics for you when I get round to starting it
