    True but look at the T5-R's they're only going up in price now, hang onto these for a few more years and they'll start to increase in value as well.

    I don't know if they will be as desireable but with programs like top gear & 5th gear featuring them it can only get better I suppose. I do get asked about mine all the time so people are interested, but this isn't reflected on the price as most are money pits like mine has been. I hope if I get everything working as it should & keep the mods sensible it will give me a return if I did come to sell it. I keep saying I will break it but a v70r manual with a working awd is a rare thing now so in a few years...

    OK fella good stuff, let me know if there is anything I can do about the tax....I think I have a scan of the log book somewhere, so could do it online if the DVLA mess things up
