Excellent, nice to see you've got it back. So what are your plans for it? Please tell me your not planning on stripping it at some point..
That's a nice car, as above do you have any plans for the old girl or is it a runabout??
no mate don't worry its not getting stripped plan is to run it thour winter and take my car off road to do body work and engine sorted then sell it on.

If I remember correctly when Emlyn was using it the car was a really honest car with good history sporting around 130k?

[quote=smithness;422454]it is liam ?[/quote] Just trying to remember if i'd seen it. Think i saw emlyn in it once.
[quote=LiamT4;422466]Just trying to remember if i'd seen it. Think i saw emlyn in it once.[/quote] 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.

[quote=LiamT4;422469]Bloody hell, your starting to go though cars like frankie! lol Didn't think you'd want an auto.[/quote] 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.
was sad to see it get driven away yesterday.il have to stick with my d5 for now.il have a other one day,maybe that one:smile:.
