Decided to get a wee runabout to save on the mileage and fuel on the Evo.
Its a 1.8 Ghia. Had the car in to Evans Halshaw Ford dealer and checked by a master tech. Only faults picked up with the car were an offside front drop link and a nearside outer CV boot! Car is absolutely solid! No welding been done and none required! Scorpion stainless exhaust,17 inch wheels (not my taste and will be getting changed).

Summer! I must have blinked and missed it!!! :razz:
Looked at an RS2000 4x4 on an N reg but it was a complete shed. Full of rust,rot and had electrical problems. Gave it a wide berth!
Not a patch on ma wee convertible :)

Different alloys fitted now. Brightens the car up and makes it look fresher I think.
