You gonna keep it as is or squeeze out the extra 80/100 bhp?
That's serious power!

I'm going to leave it alone until I have the loan paid off. That is, if the itch doesn't raise it's horny head before then :pac:

Fcukin 6 is gone.. 2days is all it took I was going to visit it tomorrow....price was 5000 here and that was a very decent sale price from one of the few reputable dealers here... Im fcukin raging.
Might as well buy a fućking punto or a clio like everybody else here.

fučking impossible to get a decent car round here that doesnt involve an 8-10hr round trip

Just the wheel, otherwise it looks spotless, saying that I've learned lately that photos don't tell as much as you think.

Here it is again, looking a bit rough.

Only difference I can see is that the plastics aren't prepped and so aren't black.

the buld required is main headlight, ~H7 bulb.

Saw a mint condition Sierra XR4x4 yesterday. 85-86 vintage (C reg) so jelly mould lift back rather than Sapphire saloon. Looked lovely and particularly impressed by the disabled/blue badge. Can't imagine that there are many of them on the roadin good condition.

On the Ford line, has anyone in Dublin seen a Granada coupe 3.0 looks like a bigger Capri. I saw it on Capel Street a few weeks ago and thought it looked great. Again, I suspect it's as rare as hen's teeth.

I have heard that the Osram Night Breakers are savage but blow constantly, would only last a few months like

Is it orange with a big Porsche-like spoiler? If so then I saw it around Dublin yesterday.

You're dead right there pink muffin!

I used to use them all the time, until unrealised that what I had spent on bulbs, would have bought me a decent HID conversion kit.

On the plus side, they are extremely good. Not too far off the HID I put in afterwards.

Second round interview in an hour.
