And if its more towards the "Grahame" Estate area (The exact map location can be "off " ) then really do not go there ....

I was just a bit gobsmacked, so thought I would post it to see the reactions

If your car did produce such a figure you'd give the reader a spec list right?

Probably got an Argos back box and a new paint job, done!

My question is where did this guy get £25,000 (or is it £25,000,000!) to spend on this car?
I once was told by a very learned friend as he used to develop rally cars for Ford, that any FWD car developing more than 250 BHP is just a waste of power as their is not enough traction.
If the car is AWD it won't work either as for the amount of comments on here on how well Volvos AWD system lasts on original tuned cars, it would just chew itself up!

On a side note I would never buy a car that has been uprated from original specification as their is normally a reason why it is running at that state of tune.
I have watched friends go out buy a hot hatch put all sorts of tuning goodies on them. Only to find just as they are selling the car and putting it back to standard that it actually runs and performs better with the original parts on it!
