nah im keeping the 3dr too - but trying to decide which one gets the YB treatment

This car is advertised on an Irish website - i pt it up there the moment i bought it as there were a few things it needed and i wasnt happy with it - but i have sorted those out now and really cant bear to sell it now as it got sentimental value attached to it.

Monster this is a replica - originally it was a Ghia which is why its on a H plate After speaking to my old man last night - he was saying if he stayed at Ford for another two months he could have got a Cosworth on staff discount but he had to leave

Looks like a clean bus either way mate

I know how your dad feels, mine used to work for Ford but left before I ever got the chance to use the staff discount on anything worthwhile. Now he works for Fiat and there's no way I want a new Fiat or Alfa, although I could have discount on a Maseratti but I can't afford one
