pics taken during a good fettle on arriving home 

a couple of very light cat scratches , 90% gone and a couple of dinks for dent man to sort but overall a cracking little car

Fantastic !! Love the colour real class that is !!

What is the difference between Sport and Sport Tech ??

1.8 or 2.0 ? 

2 litre and better spec’ and PRHT

I’m sure I saw this car on the M62 eastbound today? Looked really nice from where I was  although it might not have been, the one I saw had quite a few chrome additions to it

Looks a really nice car, love the colour. 

It’s taken a while but I’m beginning to warm towards the Mk3’s, could see me getting one in a couple of years.

its not my first colour choice  ( metropolitan,  it has flecks of purple n blue in the sunlight ) ,  but its really growing on me…its a devil to keep clean tho’ with my OCD

Woodhead pass, did you not see anything of the Marsden moor fires that are currently raging, i must be twenty miles away and i’ve had to shut the windows because of the smell and it’s making me sneeze.

Very nice car, Bally3!  Good colour too - I nearly went for Metropolitan Grey when I ordered mine, it was a very difficult choice between that & Stormy Blue.
