Just needs grey slip on shoes and a Thai bride to make the set.

The best car is a sold car.

EFA. Proper gearboxes get a few more OPGMPGS.

Not to mention some actual fun

T5s are horrible with autos, the ratios are so wide they fall off boost everytime they change up. The T5R autos are even worse in that respect.

Well, does anyone want it?

Er me. Price dependant. I've had about 5 t-5's, never an auto though.
I've just splurged £800 on a new computer. Price could be a factor unless I use this new computer and did some fucking invoicing for the 5 or 6k I'm owed. Anyone fancy being my p.a.?

The manuals have a trick of doing 70mph bouncing off the limiter in 2nd! Kind of their party piece with mates on board.

It was a hell of a lot of effort, even with a machine. But I've polished out 99% of this apple damage. There was no chance I'd have been able to polish it out by hand - even T-Cut was barely shifting it.

Before: Now: I've waxed it generously, hopefully any future attack is easier to clean off.

Well prices are all over the price, so I'm not sure what is and isn't good. but I'm sort of hoping for around £1k tentatively. It's rust free, and generally quite presentable.
Electric leather seats, trip computer, 4 electric windows, sunroof and a/c. Doesn't have cruise or traction. It's also a non-metallic colour and doesn't have a rear spoiler (though I can provide one without the mounting brackets). PCV is clear, vac lines all replaced, spark plugs dizzy rotor etc etc. New rear springs, decent tyres, powdercoated wheels, and so on. It's on ~190k (readable from ECU, the odo is broken as always the case).

It's MOT'd to April.
