Default 65k spent on a scooby!
I know we spend too much on our cars but there is a limit! That would have bought a new scooby and a ferrari 355 for the garage! (thats just off the top of my head!)

As said above, the colour is nice, but its a copy of a Car over on WFC webby, and that one looks the nuts.

And I know its a very marmite subject, but without a rear spoiler, the side shot just looks like any other rep mobile on the road.

yeh spec list certainly doesn't make 65K even if you include the 28-30K starting price for the car.

well think of it as a bonus, if they keep ruining these cars and smashing them up the values will only rise . Reading posts on various other forums there is probably only 450 of them left! Keep as near as standard imho.

Why oh why oh why would you deface a perfecetly good limited edition WR1 to create that pile of pooo. Let alone spend and allegad 65K on it.

All I can see it a tacky bodykit that I wouldn't give time of day for an a handful of bolt on bits, circa 5K at most. !

Each unto there own I guess but not my cupa tea.! and hate wild claims of spend.
