benm Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Replacement for thread "To do list 2003" Thanks to benm. Np, I lost that thread and couldn't find it for awhile, by then i'd missed too many months and just disregarded it. My 2004 List: * Get a set of track rims with semi-slicks or full slicks. * Fix front bar for better FMIC airflow.

Roy Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 what model TVR would you be interested in? you'd really have to get the coins flowing to get the Tuscan (i think its a tuscan... maybe 440) in you avatar Id be hoping to chase down a Cerbera, last year when i was over there you could get one for $17,000 pound. (approx 97 model) So hoping i can get a late model, say 2000 for about $20,000 pound. That said Escort Cosworths (i dont like 4wds so would want to be a good buy) go for $10-14000 pound modified but so do '92 911 Porsches, and Sierra's vary a bit due to age and mods. All depends on the job and the amount of travelling i do , might end up with a Vauxhall Nova Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/30764-to-do-2004/#findComment-629589 Share on other sites More sharing options...
