    As one who has purchased such a car, I would suggest you look for all the fasteners. If you are lucky the owner has bagged and tagged these little bits. Enjoy your new find.

A sportomatic car in Aubergine will be a no go at track days, just suitable for Christopher street days.

    If brakekiller is not only a name but conviction you should look for a S, R, ST, RS or RSR and please not in Aubergine. Choose tangerine, black, bahama yellow, silver, ultra blue, slate grey but not "poofy aubergine". What will you do in the race in your "sportomatic" when your competitors change the gears? Will you renew your eyeliner in a extrabig beauty mirror? Or dream of your new highheels?
    Brakekiller, you can believe me. This car is a car for a women.

    All wonderful reminders of why I'm not much involved with this community.

    You cannot imagine what I hear about being french (and about my last name too) - you are part if you wanna be. It needs everything/everyone to get the world round.
    I have automatic too ;-)

    Anyhow, thank you for your message.

    Pretty sure those posts were satire and sarcasm. (And not a bad attempt either.)

    Taking life too seriously is bad for one's health.


    Xavier,
    If you end up with this car definitely go trans gender.

    Otherwise you may turn into one of those estrogen-driven sporto fan boys who insist that they just love their Saxomat.

    Took a while to take the bait, but as always worth the wait!
