    again.. lol

    What a lovely winter minter to have though, how many miles has she covered now. If I remember correctly when Emlyn was using it the car was a really honest car with good history sporting around 130k?

    Thats right mate, I had it for around two months. Great motor.

    When smithness has finished with it will be coming back home with me... always wished Id bought it off him when I had the chance last time round.
    Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong

    Difference is Im not selling them, they are all run into the ground!

    As for the auto, I loved it when I drove it for the short time I had it. Would probably leave it as is until such time that I could afford to fit a gripper when doing a manual conversion.
