I like that this thread has gone this way, it seems to have given you guys something to debate, Thing is I never said anything about an st it was always an ST170, I cannot afford anything more.

Current update, I still have not looked into the 170, but now have to look into churches, rings etc etc that wedding date is now comming fast. A new car will have to wait, on the up side, the honeymoon will be abroad and Im looking into renting an RS while Im there.

Thanks for all your opinions and I am thinking that with the mods and repairs I have already done to the Mk1 I will be keeping it and tweeking it, then when money allows either a new ST not 170 or a MK1 RS.

Again thanks, Mark.
