I got a 3.2L V6 and am probably the tiredest but happiest puppy on the planet right now.
The bloke made out on the phone that it was a right heap of junk and said he wanted £650. Well the bodywork is nowhere near as bad as he made out, the engine management light we don't think is major (my friend did a code reading). AND knocked him down to £450, no that is not a typing error.lol.
I had forgotten how fantastic they are to drive (have just driven her 90miles home), I can't believe I was stupid enough to sell the last one. This one's staying till it goes to the big scrapheap in the sky.
Ok, here goes

Too right, I keep looking out the window at it lol. I'm going to take it to next weeks meet as it is now, then decide what to do to it. It's such a beautiful beast.

Well done on the v6
You can upload pics from you i phone
Its really simple and faster then using a pc If you get a photobucket app its very easy. Once you have a photobucket you can select the pics straight from your phone and upload them directly to photobucket. Once you have uploaded them to photobuck just simply copy the link from photobucket and paste on to the fourm hope this helps
