I'm very very envious right now, both on the cars and the "scenery".
This is my porch and front lawn at the moment. Sorry for not attending at the meet... (and for hijacking) :(

Yeah, but what you don't know is that 2 days ago I made it almost free as I was planning to charge the battery. :?

They are pretty effective in using snow plows so the roads are pretty free. I drive my Accord 2.4 executive tourer -04 as a daily driver. It has anti spin and all kinds of electronic gizmos, and combined with winter tyres there's no problem really.

Shaun your Sterling certainly looks very nice with the Bodykit. Looks to have a nice shine.
I remember when it came up for sale in Consett? i was very tempted at the time in buying it myself the price was dirt cheap and even if you were just buying for the bodykit it made good sense. If i recall there may have been a few issues that needed rectifying and therefore didn't make sense for me. I am pleased it went to someone who was going to be able to keep it on the road and put it right.
I do love evrything about it and what you have done is very tasteful

Thanks, its way from perfect. It has had a respray at some point and could really do with another :cry:

It is the one from Consett, bit of an impulse buy as I really fancied a mk1 Vitesse. I'd allways liked Chris's Sterling even before he owned it so when I saw this just chucked a bid on and very surprised I won it, £250. Had about 4 months test left on it but sat in the garrage untill late last year. Main problems were brakes, exhaust, sills needed welding, no windscreen wash, most of the lights were broken or cracked and the nice beige interior was covered in grease and oil. The bumpers have taken a lot of work to get reasonable, my paint job is not the best. They also need lining up better. Hopefully before the first meet it might have progressed a bit.

It's not in bad shape though. You'll always think worse of it as you know every last bit of it.

its looking stunning!! i think your paint job doesent look to bad i see youve sprayed the arches too looks very nice sounds nice too still! all that car needs to make it perfect is lower it a little and it would be 100% gorgeous!

from the pics i can see of the interior from the outside it looks like youve done a good job on that too! very shiny leather 8)

it gets my rating 11 out of 10
now own a bmw but want a mk 1 sterling!!!!
