Already a member - they are a very friendly bunch!
Got loads of help already from them.

Shug - might have to fix a couple of bits first (Cambelt life is officially 4 years but recommended every 2 years, this one is 4.5 years old!) but a trip up North is not out of the question :thumbsup

Me and the Esprit? Oh you mean for Laura... :lol: Might take you up on that :thumbsup

Laura basically isn't bothered about it, she thinks I'm being stupid swapping a fully working nice car for one she doesn't like the look of that needs work, but accepts that it's inevitable.... She knows me well :lol:

She didn't like the 924 until it took her on holiday to France and back without major problems, been 3 times now and planning a 4th, she likes them now.
She also likes that I'm not a polisher of cars so she can load it with sh*t for the tip or bags of compost and so on. Not sure the Esprit will be much cop for that though!

She'll come round once she drives it... :thumbsup
