I was but it sucked!

Felt really slow and dull on the test drive, i was very disappointed. It wasn't in great condition either so i walked! Should be better off with the Abarth! I hope...

hey mate, has the GP gone now then??

Any chance you could take me for a spin in it? I really interested in getting one of these.

PS. on holiday atm but back in York at the weekend.

The GP will be at S G Petch in York unless they have sold it already! I sure can take you for a spin in it at some stage.

Great looking caR. Can't wait to see one in the flesh.

I sure am!!! I am still waiting for the SS 500 at S G Petch so I can test drive it. Last I heard they were still waiting for the kit to come in.

Awesome car mate. Would love one myself. Massive fan. Are they quick? MPG?

blu73 · 12-03-2009

Did i spot you on the A19 the other day mate? you were coming back toward York from Selby direction...?

Alex_gregory_uk · 12-03-2009

It might have been me. I do use the A19 quite a bit. When did you see it?

I haven't had chance to test it fully yet, still running it in. Nearly time to give it some abuse! It sure feels quick, lots of low down torque. MPG at the minute is 33MPG. Think it will be around the 30MPG mark which isn't to bad. Will be able to give you a better indication in about a months time.

Would have been Saturday or Sunday, late morning/early afternoon. Can't be many about, certainly the first i've seen on the road up this way. Looked

btw

Yazza54 · 12-03-2009

dannygp · 12-03-2009

Omg, very nice!

Where in York, hope i get to see it runnin' around

Edit: Oooooh did I not post a spotted? A19 near Deighton 2 morning in a row, white gp...

Alex_gregory_uk · 12-03-2009

0-60 on the 500 is 7.9, and on the essesse 7.4.

I do drive around York quite a bit in it so you might well see me. I am happy to meet up with anyone to show them if they want!!!
