New Member from Cornwall

Post by james5west »

Hi - New member from Cornwall here. My mate's just bought a G reg 340 for £150 (bargain!) with 126,000 miles on the old clock.

Am intending on getting one myself soon after having worked with him to get his running nicely.

Hopefully I'll get one before you guys come down here for the Run To The Sun.

Cheers

James.

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

When I'm home from uni, I'm on the other side of the Tamar. :)

Good luck finding a 300!

Welcome! I'm another native from the other side of the Tamar (although now living 250+ miles away), but I have Cornish blood, and family in Cornwall....and I've been known to wear the 'black and gold' at various car meets. ;)

cheers
