I think I'll hand the "Purple Petrol Eater" tag over to you now Brad v 12 is almost two engines sharing a crank just about everything is duplicated.This makes troubleshooting a bit difficult for those that dont know how,and also gives the m70 a undeserved reputation.

bradc 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2007 We will see I'm used to expensive maintainence costs on cars, I can't see it being much worse than my VR-4. And yes it will be the biggest petrol eater in the club! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martyyn 2 Report post Posted November 20, 2007 Dont believe the hype ....the v12 is a beautiful engine if looked after and is actually alot more simple than the v8. Congrats, its a beautiful car and is going to be awesome to drive around in over the summer with the pillarless windows. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bradc 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) I'm gonna be flat broke for a bit, but if it goes for a small amount I might just get it Just searched on the plates website, 850CSI is already taken, and I know there is only one other csi in the country! I will have to track him down and ask him if he has the plate or not. Edited November 21, 2007 by bradc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bradc 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2007 Nahh, he should leave it to me TBH though I think it will go for a lot of money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Braeden320 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2007 Yep, I think if it doesn't he will just pull it before it ends. Hence the clause. Fair enough to advertise elsewhere and have the clause but not when you $1 reserve it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bradc 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2007 yeah if you $1 res something, you should follow it through. I regularly put up things with $1 res and most of the time the auction goes for more than what I thought it would. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
