Good to see you back in GT-Fourland Clive :D Looks like a great find. nice to see some ST185's in the club.

P.S. Presumably the reg plate means you are 'The One' :shock: Did the car come with a black leather overcoat and shades? Lets hope the Matrix doesn't catch up with you :lol:

Finally, we can talk to you again :D

Looks a nice enough example although it doesn't entirely fit the normal 185 requirement lol

It's a really nice aqua-marine ONE and appears to have been looked after.
I think there are a couple of things that need sorting - it's smoking a bit - but Mr Magpie Homer has the bits in the garage already - now we know why he was buying stuff from the forums and ebay - rc head, turbo, . :wink:
What a bargain :shock:
