She's gorgeous Kyle, although I prefer the saloons for the practicality those coupés are just beautiful.

I have now sold the car locally along with all of my parts!

I don't think the new owner will become a member but may drop in myself if he needs any parts.

I've recently bought the car back. After fixing the heater and a nail biting MOT test it's now street legal!

I've heard the rain in the Manchester area has been on and off like a brides nightie - been comparatively settled here, was raining most of yesterday but dry otherwise.
Cheers,
