Congrats on the car, hope you get plenty of enjoyment out of it!
I see the rear towing eye is painted red, I assume that's not factory standard spec? Nice idea (if you like that kind of thing!) |

Ha ha, no i dont think it is factory standard! The calipers are painted red which i think looks kinda cool but i agree about the towing eye! |

When I e-mailed the seller with regard to the steering wheel (as I often randomly do on ebay when im bored) he told me the airbag hag gone off. Worrying.
Somethings not right about that car IMO. |

have you ever had the problem off indecators not going off as steering colum has moved up, well ive come across 3 the first my mates chammy (non air bag a quick smack with hammer sorted) my old blue one and the most funny one, my old mans N regger, we noticed the problem and told him when he got home, thinking it might go off i left it alone to go make tea (and my old man disconecting the air bag) well he got pissed off and hit it with his hands BOOOM!! it went off fractoring his hand at the same time, so its not always that bad (aka crashed)
and waiting on insurence to sort the damage but i spect they will write it off! bummer hey (damage in POS to my delight) |
