Thanks - still don't have my Twisted car!

I did look at buying an Urban truck LS3 car in Estoril Blue (RR SVR colour) about 6 months ago but I just couldn't get excited about it - I wasn't convinced by the quality of finish. I have some other toys that are supposed to go fast so I suppose I'm not so bothered about a fast Defender.

The art work has been done by James Leddy who goes under the name of "Retrothentic" at the moment. I met him at the NEC classic car show and commissioned him to draw a Heritage. Because he has now done the base art work changing colour and details (grill etc.) is fairly straightforward so he shouldn't be to expensive. Really nice and printed on board that is resistant to damp as well - great for a garage.

"Supposed to go fast"??!!....You've got my attention,...what would those "toys" be?

Pickles, I'm a lucky boy who has a few cars - but love Porsche and Land Rover the most! I also have a new Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio as my daily driver which is amazing.........

Twisted told me the car was finished yesterday so now to work out when to collect!!!

It'd be nice see some of your other toys Cool

I'm a big petrolhead and can only encourage, (not be jealous of) those who have lots of cars!

I see it as 'sharing your enthusiasm' Mr. Green

More than happy to collect the 90 from Twisted and deliver it to your door Whistle Shocked Thumbs Up Rolling with laughter Bow down

Also share your love of Porsche, but only get to park next to them Big Cry

We bought a new C63PP (6.2) a few years ago which was FAST.
If I had my choice (talking Porsche) a Turbo S would be my go!
Wifey just bought a new Audi RS3 which is also pretty rapid!

Interesting mate...

for me, the only Porsche has to be a non turbo engine... instant throttle response and all that great drivability! Thumbs Up Cool YOLO... You Only Live Once...

So happily browsing Twisted FB page (yes I am sad I know!) when I see this...

"Limited Edition Heritage getting the full Twisted make over, you might see more on that in a week or so time"

Well here it is - some photos of a (very nearly) finished car........

I have just asked them to add the revised wing vents and also the Twisted badges to the front wings. I think then it is done!
