I don't have a downer on the car, just the seller.
If you put a car up for sale, then at least ,,, try and sell the thing..
Im only pointing out the obvious things that it may need spending on it..
The owners updates are interesting reading...
And, the current owner doesn't seem to have...
Ok so heres the FULL list of MOT,s its had,,,,

MMMM fair enough...
BUT its looking like a poss money pit,
Front splitter, heater panel, steering wheel replacement, brake discs, tyres, engine light.?? could be lambda fault. Who knows, Windscreen chips, ...... The £££ are adding up....
And that's just what we know at the moment....
NOBODY can...
Not too sure if this car is legit. Just checked the redg on MOT checker an it comes back,
"Vehicle details could not be found as it has not been possible to locate the vehicle details, your enquiry cannot proceed and has been cancelled."
All seems a little fishy too me.....
Sent them another...
Well girls and boys.
Back on topic..
Ive mailed the person selling the car TWICE, and so far no reply. Im sure they dont want to sell it....
I was going to have a look to seriously consider it. But no response....
Its around 6-8 miles away from me, so yes just round the corner...
I didnt realise...
That's the same one on PHeads that's tempting me,, pity is miles away from me...
Phew its now sold..... I can sleep tonight...
And yes I agree on the topping out of values,, then again, I remember a very similar conversation some 5 years ago about Porsche 964Rs,s, and 996GT3,s / RS,s.. And look...
Ide LOVE a Blue V6 mk2.... In my "collection"....
Theres one on PHeads at the moment that's tempting me....
Shall I shant I...
But ive no more room,,,,, doh...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just received my adjuster "condom".
Cheers Rick...
PS note to self, put enough postage on the SAE,,, I put a second class stamp on the envelope, and it wasn't enough,,,, doh.!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe it was because the envelope wasnt flat when the plastic caps were in...
Yep ive got a fabia one on my car, as shortly after i bought the car i broke the original..
Thinking it wouldnt be a lot, i was too bothered. That was until i found out the actual price...:angry::angry::disappointed::disappointed:
So i keep a look out for a genuine one,, for "originality"...
Theres a couple for sale at Anglia car auctions soon..
see linky...

Theres me thinking ide be the elder statesman of the Trophy world, but maybe that crown will be Ashtons.???
Shall we have a separate thread trying to guess Ashtons age.??? lol....
Im with A plan and have an agreed value of £6500, although as we all know the values have risen lately.. So im hoping come renewals time [mid Feb],ill be able to increase that...
Yep I forgot ,, there is a seat lowering "kit" for the recaros.
Although I have sat in claude,s car with them fitted but wasn't keen, my knees were too high up...
Cheers Tim.
Yes as im 6ft 5" tall, and a lot of my height is in my legs, I too can struggle getting comfy in cars.
Ive had no trouble whatsoever in the T.
Some folk have seen me getting in and out of it, and make lots of what they think are comical comments, but once in ,I have no problems...
One for the tall drivers....
Not sure if anybody on here is interested , but ive had one of these on my car for a few years now.
Its an extension piece to make the steering wheel closer to me, as im tall and sit a long way from the wheel...
It makes the car SO much better to drive for me...
