cheers for that, I think it's nice to remember him every now and then, I think we should have some type of Annual OcUK Motors day for him, honour the legend that is TurboToaster.

B'STARD.
Full paint restoration completed by Autobrite:
Top job as always, car looks better than it did the day it arrived in Renaults show room, that is this cars restoration complete, first time I think a car was ever truly completely by me, now time to continue with the M3.
I probably have the most mechanically sound and cleanest 172 Cup in the UK, maybe in existence considering mechanically every is now fully refreshed when it comes to suspension, brakes etc.

What makes it special? (Meant in a genuinely curious way) 
Is it basically a WRX STI without the rear wang?

In all seriousness its closer to a spec d than a normal sti
Leather interior
front fogs
black centre console
black calipers
revised engine
revised gearbox
although don't ask me what the revisions are, all i can tell you is the code is different to a normal sti or spec d

Was £7850
I think automatically people see RWD escort as unobtanium. My friend had a bright orange 1.3 as his first car and he didn't pay much in the grand scheme of things.

I think its more down to the fact for a tidy, sorted MK2 Escort its £15k average.. Not a lot of people can afford that on a car to sit around 95% of the year!

Just had this Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland delivered, fully expecting a mixed reaction but anyway...
I suddenly feel a lot more American

Well I`ll take a wild guess he wasn`t at World Time Attack like he told everyone he would be
I`m sure he has some new super duper never been done before idea he'll spend a lot of time and effort on, never finish then changing direction
Especially a 3 door! What marque is it?

Its a MK2 1600 Sport

Amazing - had a mk2 Daytona yellow 1600 Sport, one of my most fun cars!

I think the interior is fine - it's reasonably well put together and the Overland trim has lots of leather everywhere which helps.
I would have preferred something German but Jeep are virtually giving these away at the moment so I couldn't justify the extra $$$ when it's really just a utility car.
