Leather swapped inc heater switches 156K older couple (he was 69 his wifes car) had car from new in ACT garaged which EO needs full service history how could i resist, i wasnt really after a XR5 but it felt like it dropped into my lap. I drove a blue (great colour) LS XR5 when they were new, enjoyed the drive, didn't like the pre facelift look. True story they replaced her with a i20n, i need a wife like that. I had to have the sunroof and the leather interiors are easy enough to swap in. Old cloth interior which was near perfect found a home in my daughters Mk2 LX. Too many kerbs on the wheels swapped in the later ST wheels with PS4's and i prefer the constrast in the wheel colour. Outside short shift was never going to mod it. It is very quiet though. I wouldn't go EO unless its been and going to garage it and really care for the paint. I still watch the market as i enjoy it and a few retiree type aged cars coming out still.

Anyway i can't lie on this forum, i want, love and enjoy my cars but i have a long history of being unfaithful to them Theres a name for people like me but it's impolite and may be beeped by the forum Unusually i'm having a lot of hesitation bringing her to the point of putting it on the market, but well, not rich.
