    The Snake pass is a great bit of road when it is clear and dry, good for a 'test drive'

    Snake pass... on a wet windy and otherwise miserable day! Perfect for a test drive as little other traffic about

    Many thanks to Seb once again, a real gentleman, very helpful and someone I'd happily recommend. Love his T5 pickup too - that wee beastie can shift lol

    Abdul - didn't see your message until just now sorry otherwise I would have. Ask Seb, I'm sure he'll oblige.

    Done nearly 200 miles now (just got back from a party). Still very happy, its a real peach this one, its obviously been very well maintained.

    Mods - yes and no. I'm looking for an XC radiator grill, and will fit some upgraded headlamp bulbs (Nightbreaker Ultimates) shortly. I've got the new tyres coming Monday (Rainsport 3s) and might look at fitting a DAB radio. The Sony one in the car is excellent but we do listen to DAB a lot so it might be replaced in a few weeks time. Other than that, its a case of a thorough Stage 0 and 'detailing'. Oh, and I need to get the LPG system checked & serviced. It ran fine earlier but its new to me, so its going to get a check over just to be safe.
