I understand the want for a GLT if you're part of the 'keep it standard(ish) brigade' lol
If not, get anything without 12 doors and liven it up IMO.
Welcome dude. (btw, whats's with the name? DO you run an Evo?)

The real name is chris morel, there is no correlation between my name and my current car, ahah. Its just one of those names you used for your email when you were about 15 and becomes used for everything.
Na i want a 360 glt becuase i want to keep it looking standard in the main part. I have a few in the pipework atm, finally got the money together after 3 months lol!

Nav, I love it. The more i drove it, the more i loved it! we got the t-cut out and its gleaming. Be some more pictures soon. Did you get my email? Thank you!
Dont be upset im going to do my best to look after. I Need to come up with a good method transporting my bike. Im not kean to put it on a rack though (the bikes worth 2x the car... :/)
Well not sure whether or not it will be featured but retro rides have given him an odd shoot.
Very few plans for now. Im so impressed with it as it is. My only thought it to try some 440 alloys on it for a bit, but im keeping the glt alloys.

Nice looking car, in general i'm not a fan of red cars but for some reason i think red Glt's look quality
Is that your e28 behind it in the 1st pic?
89 3dr 340DL in Battleship grey with Ultralights and Williams power
Whats the matter with the car i'm driving can't you tell that it's out of style?
