NIZMAINIAC is an unknown quantity at this point
Default i went to look at

i went to look at a mk2 s12 in cornwall that i had seen on ebay today, the shell itself looked tidy enough no rust anywhere , then i popped the bonnet, what did i see? the worst mess i have ever seen , oil everywhere in the engine bay it covered absolutley everything the underside of the bonnet included. I started it up , only running on 3 cylinders , smoke pooring out of the breathers, the only good thing about it really was the scorpion exhaust, it didn't have a dump valve like he said either, he also said that the head gasket had gone between two cylinders , but it looked more like it had a holed piston to me , he'd wanted £350 for it , i shook my head turned around got in my car and drove back home , 130 miles for nowt , never mind something better will come along soon
