    I'd have never parted with her, if I had been able to use her more, and she was the best drive out of my cars I thought.

    I didn't know that, but would love to know what she has truly done. The clock with 239k on went with the car to Adrian, and the current clock is on 160k or so.

    I will have to add another graze to the poor cars history, as a complete numpty decided to run his vans sill down the front o/s wing yesterday evening, whilst I'd left the car parked in a local village, luckly a couple of phone calls and I had a good idea of which vehicle and who it belonged to, so needless to say I located said van shortly after and did a little photo shoot of the Gul yellow strips along his sill and then knocked on his door for a little chat...lol

    I've chatted to Andy (the-man-that-can) about this car on a few occasions. He's quite proud of it. Said it never felt like it had so many miles under it's belt.

    He's got another gul now and he's slowly working through the parts list.
    19t, greens, 3" inlet, 3" downpipe with race cat, V70R catback, autotech map...

    Sorry to see this Adrian, and the only consolation I can think of is that both wings could do with replacing before any respray, but that obviously isn't the point here. Hope you get it sorted with the van driver.
