If you put #240 into the search box at the top right of the forum you'll get all the posts about #240. I did a search on it and there's 4 pages of stuff comes up with the previous owners.

It's just come up on auto trader 11.5k had a chat with the owner of 2 1/2 yrs seemed pretty honest had paint on bumper and a wing. Watched the video mmmmm it went well into the red but how many haven't, most cars have 3 to 6 owners so the nature of this type of car is that they have been driven to their potential at times through their lives

I get that you don't/can't know everything about a car you're going to buy, neither of my two wr1's have ever seen anything like that speed whilst I've owned them, I think what's more disturbing is the fact he felt the need to post the video on social media more so than the speed itself

Any ideas how long that owner owned it for? Also if I bought it that video would play on my mind and how she was treated off video it's also a 2 1/2 hr drive just to have a listed to the engine

Totally agree with you there... Most likely thrashed it all the time.
