Not sure if it's your thing but she's so well made and sounds like a posh mower :)

I'd sell my soul to the devil for the next OCD car that comes along. How about you?
Insurance is an issue with someone of my age on Porkers
You've been lucky lolQuote:

Just got the MR2, the Golf and the Cooper at the mo'. Fancy a Triumph GT6 :)
Right I'm off to look up the Fiat Uno Turbo and ... triggered by that ... the Renault 5 GT Turbo :)
The Maxi turbo is the winner
I'm thinking of selling my spitfire if you are interested. Had it 20 years. No ordinary spit. I ha e spent a fortune on it.
Am guessing a Spitfire is more fun in a lot of ways but got my heart set on a GT6 in red. PM me all the details and price just in case.Quote:

Back on sale. Kekkers gets first refusal. But failing that I will try and get my money back elsewhere. Have treated door sills, bought new seals for the bodykit, and bought blinds for the roof panels. Have MOT'd her too and taken a tonne of pics when she was inspected.
Latest pics:

She's yours :) Email me at mastersdom@hotmail.comQuote:

Here's another link for you Domster, over priced but some nice iconic cars:
http://www.4starclassics.com/VW-Golf-G60-For-Sale
Any details of your new one as well?
Loving the G60! I'll post some more pics of past pleasures. I've currently got a golf MK1 in much better condition than that G60. Not as desirable tho' obv. 23K miles :) I drive faster in reverse these days so don't need the extra power. Anyways if I want to die there is always the quad track. I nearly lost the 348 at 180mph and the seats were brown afterwards :) If any of you are ever passing North Wales call in for some cuts and bruises on the track ... no health and safety here :) :) :)Quote:

Here's the new one. Pics of the outside when she has been washed, polished and waxed.

Is a DIN E stereo supposed to fit? The gap isn't wide enough (only just).
Me and Kekkers agreed it wasn't the one for him so I am keeping both for now. Think I've got MR2 OCD big time :)
Not all of them, mine doesn't leak :DQuote:

You interested in this Domster?

More interested than you can imagine SuperWhite :) Don't know whether I put the panels in wrong the first time but I wiped the seals with a very thin layer of watchmakers gasket grease and she no longer leaks :)Quote:
