when u getting some pics mate

roybacer

Shame you live so farr away

No no no if its the car u want then its worth the travel !!!!!

I have travelled up and down the country looking and buying the car that i want at the time

My previous Mondie ST24 came from Chesterfield and my cossie came all the way from Horsham !!!

If its the car ur after then its worth a days traveling ,i always leave early get there around lunchtime ,do the deeds if its worth buying and car leaves with me that day and its on way for a decent bar lunch and head home then stop of for tea later on

I enjoy the road trip thing (Little Adventure) ,But maybe its cause i got to know the roads all over with being a driver etc and used to spend 2-3 days down south

Hi there chaps. Well, the car may still be for sale. But i've just about finished putting a 2.0 zetec in it, with loads of new bits etc. So its going to be a storming car soon, and i'll be asking a bit more.

And if its the right car for you its always worth the days travel. I picked up my last car in a 770 mile round trip...

lovely looking gti, very much like a rs2000 i once owned. Shouldnt take long with the sale mate, good luck........What u after next, Still staying on the ford scene?

ren_juanjo

thanks for the comments! havent fully decided about the sale, i'll see if i'm happy with the driveability with the extra horses.

Currently got a couple of bmw 3 series, a cossie replica (escort) and a 2.0 mondeo.

Maybe a civic type r soon?

roybacer

if your thinking about a civic type r, make sure u drive a clio 172/182 1st

and when you go to test drive it keep a open mind, i promise you wont be disappointed

bluliz

i work in Horsham whoohoo. when did u buy it?

love this car. it looks great

ren_juanjo

clio's too small, and its french (had anough of french cars), and i just don't like them. But i'm NOT starting an argument about them, in case anyone thinks otherwise!
