What's boot polish? Boot like in boots -> big shoes?
Well... dont sit on the seats while wearing white pants when you've used that...

thats the one

and it will have headlight wash/wipes on it.. every car here does

weren't you swapping a set of them for a snowcover with redline?

if not, what other rare bits n bobs do you have lying around for swapsies? i've got 3 cars with washwipes on

I was swapping those for a snowcap but I could not get hold of a second one. I wanted to keep one for myself.
I have not much swapping materials laying around here. I am cleaning my house and storage out to make room for all those baby stuff.

I think we're getting too excited

If, as Uba says, the car is in too good a condition to break I think it should go to someone who intends to keep the car as a whole

(unless it has aircon, then we know what'll happen

)

Good grief folks, you are already dismantling the car and I do not know if I can get it yet (although I am pretty sure I can).

Update

Central Locking is hopeful as is aircon

*NOTE

If this car has aircon, you better make sure your car is faster than mine

Pics coming soon I hope, still think this car is too good to break

If the car is that good and full of goodies it woult be a shame to break it.
But if it's not... You know where to find me.

Well now,

I have pictures which I will upload later today.

However

I have contacted the DVLA and it seems to be pretty easy to get hold of the vehicle (unless someone here owns it

).

I can't see an aircon symbol but the whole heater console looks a little different to the usual (could be because it is a special edition)

Well, we will see

does the heater console have 4 sliders, 2 in rows above each other?

woudl be bizarre to have a mk2 console in there

No it is a Mk3 Console, just a little different to the normal ones. The buttons are not in the same place

if you email me the pics i can host them for you

Challenged?

Post by **Uba** » 22 Apr 2005 08:00 am

People wanted to know what I thought I was doing taking pictures of a car that was not mine.
I think they thought I was going to pinch it
