Just clocked this:

No affiliation to the seller and a price to make your eyes water.
Wonder if its all its cracked up to be.

Given the grammar (sorry, pet hate) I wonder if he meant 50 instead of 500 as he can't do decimals either?? But anyway it's not really 500 as that's when it's turned down, turn it up and it will do 700 (or is that 70?)...

I may be a boring old fart but I'm always suspicious of cars with masses of 'upgrades' and super performance claims, the question in my mind is how well has it ben done. Reading the ad there are the grammatical errors, which in themselves don't affect the car but if that's their level of attention to detail is it also how detailed the work was on the car, but if he's spent 25000k on it those Porsche brakes must involve some gold plating!
