Indeed the written word via a text message, email or forum message has caused many a mixed message in many relation ships both romantic and inpersonal over the net. In this case the intended sarcasm has been missed by a lack of a sizeable screen on a phone.
Honest to god thats the smartest thing I've said all day.

Wasn,t there a forum member who said they had an extended chasssis?
or is my memory playing tricks on me again

Its a shame to see part builds come up for sale, must be a hard decision to give up on such a "dream"
Whoever the chassis belongs too I wish them well for their sale & am sure it will be a great head start to someone with the same dream.

cheers

I,ve just realised who had the extended chassis, same location as the ebay listing.
That is a surprise thats its up for sale, shame too as I,m sure it would have been a nice build.

cheers

But it probably still will be a nice build, but done by a different person (the buyer, I mean).

Maybe the seller decided on a different donor, and then found that it would be inappropriate to adapt the chassis to the different donor parts, and decided to start from scratch, building a new chassis around the new parts, and let someone else continue with the Talon chassis and parts?

I'd have thought that basic internet detection would have revealed the answer to that

Perhaps I'll leave it a bit and see if anyone can figure it out.

Hmmm. So you buy a 3 litre s-type and a couple of weeks later you have a shed load of s-type parts for sale. But not any of the running gear.






I still have no idea

Not even the wheels and tyres.

Although the ecu and throttle body are available (which makes it even more interesting)
