Anything else further in saying the 11k was a one off rip off or was the gist that's what it costs.
That's a complete rip off, would have to be a hypercar before that sort of price became even nearly acceptable, not a 50k nissan.

Just reading further into it, and its not the first time it has happened. The other one they takl about was arond £22k. Aparantly all of the parts and servicing are extortionate.

John G- Gearbox's are a fortune because each car only has a gearbox specifically for it, you cant just go and get a second hand one.
Colin-I couldn't work that out either. Suppose its meant to throw them over the roof. Looks more like it saves the driver from having a pedestrian in his face.

the bonnet raisers are for if you run someone over, instead of them hitting the bonnet which has the solid engine directly underneath they hit their head on a bonnet that has 3inches + of an air gap underneath
bonnet wont absorb the impact with a solid block under it, it will absorb some of the impact if its allowed to bend a little

think it also makes it more of a shallow angle if they continue up the windscreen
