Cheers for all the positive comments 
Yeah we went up in Daves one, good drive back with both of them on the road together
Spec is basically standard (well compared to my last one anyway
)
GGR 305 conversion AP's Rondells (obviously ) lowered a bit a GGR exhaust and a Panel filter. Usual lux pack and engine bay is all standard
yeah the plate is a touch, its been on the car for about 10 years now
not yet, only just got it (what you trying to say anyway)
cheers dude, just looks like I am trying to hot wire it
Yeah I spoke at length to Dave (top bloke on the phone for over an hour!) who had it for a while and he vouched for when markhad it a few years before that so I got the full low down on the history and all the mods when they were done, condition of each panel etc etc before I had even seen it! so that was half the reason i got it over one i knew nothing about.
unfortunately not this year as i didnt know what i was doing car wise! probably do the classic next year though
Its not buftying up, its just testing out my cleaning products!
thought you might like it, its petrol blue or something, thinking of respraying it to a better colour though
It was from a chap that owns teh company next to them mate
yeah EVERYONE has said that to me now
you know how it is mate

no worries mate
Welllllllll put it this way, i dont REALLY hate any colour on 3dr's or escos'
they all come in pretty much decent colours if you sort the mods to work with the colours. But I do prefer some to others.
Basically when think of cossies for me PERSONALLY I associate them with the motorsport they took part in touring cars & rallying so the colours I prefer are ones they would have used mostly would be your solid blacks, whites etc.
So that’s the ONLY reason I am not really keen on some of the "road" colours but like i said its just my personal preference and none of them are really awful or anything infact petrol blue is Sooooo cool that i think its used as a mk7 base model colour 
dunno wtf is going on with quoting

as a raw fun car the 3dr pisses all over it without even trying. I have learnt that you cant have both in one car though and dont have space for 2 so i just wanted somethign nice to drive that needs a clean every now and again. I am THAT confident i wont be doing anything for a long time on it I have even compacted my engine crane and stand and stuck it in loft in the garage already
but not for a long time unless the box/clutch need doing.cheers mate

Its amazing how a person can change their mind so quickly... Yesterday morning I tell the Mrs " yes I will get another Escos next "... Midday I phone my bro for a chat, and after that I tell the Mrs " Im getting an Evo 9 next "..... Now this morning I think I will be back to " Im getting an Escos next "...
Lovely looking car mate, good luck with it
