Re: time to join the ranks

Sorry a bit vague with the details... '97 in red, highish mileage [117k] but FSH and lots of paperwork and well looked after.
If i had studied the old invioces before i parted with my cash i might have thought twice!!, previous lady owner spent a fortune in her 8 yr ownership.

Problems so far

difficult to get in 1st and reverse when hot, no clutch noises, pedal not heavy so i'll live with that, ABS light comes on sometimes.

But MOT due next week [only4k since last] and tyre are shot, age more than wear, so I've been looking to upgrade to 17s hence i found the site!

Just need to double check the ET before I take the plunge!

Nice to know theres a place around for like-minded people.

Actually just noticed some nice anthracite ones for sale up in Leeds from a 156 but I guess the ET is different, I couldn't send the guy a message as I guess you can't respond to ads unless your a 'proper' member or i'm so tired now that i don't know how to!!



I'm off to bed now.
Cheers.
