Nice one - hope the new owner becomes a regular fixture on here as that FTO is a smashing looking car.

So come on then - Give us a clue about the new bus?????

exactly right yeah, it's got all the bells and whistles, absolutely mint...

took it for a test drive and it definitely drives a lot better than the other one i had driven, the guy who owned it knew his stuff, he actually brought up all the points you had emailed me, full service history etc. i have to say i think it's a lot nicer to drive than the FTO, power comes in a lot lower down and it doesn't feel like you've rag the car to get the power down, picking up this afternoon so i'll drive it proper now over the weekend!! was still sad to see the FTO go, but not as sad as i thought i would be!! time to move on, but like yourself i'll be staying on the forum and making it to the odd meet as well!! hopefully Sean (guy who bought mine) becomes an active member as it was definitely the most unique FTO i've ever come across!

it's an amazing car, i think it feels a lot quicker than the FTO, feels sturdier too, all the power with all the creature comfort!!
i'll still be on the forum as regular as i was, i'll try not to spend anymore money on this but i've already found a few bits that i'm thinking of getting!!

What have you got in mind???

I've an RSR exhaust going on my Zed this week.
Plenum spacer and hi flow cats to follow. Then Nismo front splitter,side skirts and rear spats - preferably carbon fibre.

well pretty much the same as yourself, i've been over on the UK forums checking them out, i reckon the carbon fibre would be sweet on mine, but i'm going to resist for a while anyways!!

where did you get the exhaust??

A chap off the UK forum bought and fitted the RSR and found it much too loud for his tastes - so I got an almost new RSR at a fraction of the price.

Should sound like this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JVTpD_LnQQ

Sorry to hear that Dave, but If it's a few scrapes only then I gues count yourself lucky, could be a lot worse. I take nobody was injured then?

Jesus mate that sucks..

Well atleast it's as OK as it can be - these things can go wrong in the blink of an eye. Be happy you didn't get hurt.

They're stunning! Looks really well with the black car as well.
Black suit, sunglasses and futuristic weapon to go with them?
