Well, as you know, the 200 was up for sale a few weeks ago.

Well, i've subsequently grown a chest wig, a porn star 'tache and invested in some aviators and a cowboy hat. Yeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaa!

And i've bought this...... (to go with my daily runaround, when I find one)

A 1975 Pontiac Firebird :D

Its only got a tiny little 5.7 V8 though :(

And it has a massive 165bhp :indiff:

But the noise is ace! :D

It needs an awful lot of restoration, but bits are so cheap for it! And did I mention the noise?

lol, the guy at work mentioned this car to me the other day. Now I find out its yours! :rolleyes:

Nice... now get tuning, as 165bhp from a 5.7 litre is pathetic.

Hey don't knock it! Its a Yank-Tank wannabe NASCAR!

I like it but a little too big and chest-wiggy for me. Prefer my cars to be smaller. But I do love the noise of a V8. Sling a set of carbs and a straight through exhaust and it'll sound even better! :thumbs:

For a 32 year old car. Looks wise it's done alright. It still looks cool. Unlike some other cars that have been and gone.
