Default My new/old baby..

Purchased last week, my new toy is a '94 built 1.8 manual with just 2 owners and travelled 145km. It has the 10 spoke 15inch alloys, no factory alarm or air con (bit disappointed about that... but it's lighter too I guess!). I have a set of 17's comming for it next week and have replaced the shock absorbers with 4 new Monroe GT's. It's a great car that puts a smile on my face every time I use it and it was cheap to buy. Couldn't ask for more for the money really!

On a personal side.. 49 years young last week with 2 school aged boys and a perfect wife (just in case she reads this...)
I have been involved in motorsport since a kid, a banker by trade I quit and became a sales manager for Mercedes, Jeep, Chrysler, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, dabbled in importing Porsche, Audi, BMW. Have driven Lamborghini, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Bently, Lotus. Very lucky aye! I had the privlidge of lots of track time in new Mercedes/Porsche and Chrysler in particular. At the time it was the fun part of my job. The last 4 years or so I have been engineering, making horse transporters, mobile coffee/fastfood, small motorhomes.... That's me in summary. Looking forward to getting the Ti onto a track for a bit of light fun of course...

The new wheels were from a E36 M3 and are wearing 235/40/17's so on the Ti, they look pretty good
