Re: Turbo for Sale
Hi Jimbocrx, Call anytime after 9:30am and before 11pm - outside these hours I wont make much sense. :) Managed to get a vid of me starting her up and the engine running, although I do drop my phone just after she starts - not the greatest cameraman in the world. http://s1153.photobucket.com/user/ch...

Re: My New Time and Money Sponge
Well my friends, the unhappy time has come to release Poppy into the care of someone else. I will be posting in the For Sale section after writing this. I can no longer dedicate the time needed to keep Poppy in the condition she deserves to be kept in and I fear if I keep her she will deteriorate. S...

Re: My New Time and Money Sponge
hey All. Its been a while since my last post, and plenty has been happening. The good news is Poppy is still plodding on. I'd got hold of replacement handbrake cables to do them myself, but didnt have time. Managed to find a local guy that was happy to fit the cables, and my rear discs and pads , af...
