    Sorry if this is a repost. BTW quality's not brilliant.

    Those shock absorbers look like very impressive bits of kit! Wouldn't like to have to replace then though!

    When you say the quality isn't great, I take it you mean the interior? Or maybe the angle gear collar? Pmfsl.


    It's nice to see a good review, clarkson wasn't soo keen...

    Interior's top class, and the angle gear's a myth Best of all, a second quicker to 60 than a T5.

    A second quicker thqn a "standard" t5, mines an overweight, reinforced explod with brown denso injectors that does 90 at 3k rpm .... That's still lighter than an R

    I can see the appeal of the atacama (as much as Steevie wonder can) the contrasts are perfect... I have one last visual upgrade for the Sweed that will make or break her...
