I wasn't at POL this year as I didn't get the car MOT'd until the week before and since I'd done the headgasket, I wasn't going to chance a long journey until I'd done a few short distance trips to test it out first. The white one suffered cambelt failure while I waited at a petrol station for a pump to become available. Lucky that, since only 15 minutes before I was ragging it down a dual carriageway. I replaced the bent valves but couldn't get the car to run on 4 cylinders so I left it to see to it later........ and later .... and well, it's probably 14 years now. The car will need some work to get it running again but I've decided to start on it this year if the weather holds. I have a recon block in the lounge and I can use the existing head and ancillaries with it. I've not noticed any rodent damage and the interior still looks excellent. She will live again, oh yes.midnite wrote:i think the design of the bumper with the sections around the fog lights is the same, and its very unusual, the side skirts arnt the same, but its the front design thats similar me thinks.

I must say Gordon it does look good if it wasn't for the slightly flat tyres I would of thought it were still in regular use

Re: Hello From Wigan
Hi Shane, good to see you on here - the pickup is certainly interesting and the fastback looks gorgeous. Would very much like to see more of your friends collection.
