Yes, I find him a bit irritating but he's been involved in some great projects

Would rather like that job myself :)

It definitely deserves to be seen more,I have thought about selling and letting someone else give it more exposure.


After thinking about it for quite some time I've decided I'm going to sell my car :( please see the 'For Sale' section if anyone is interested.

Good luck with that, Steve. I'd be happy to give you the asking price if only I had a garage in central London. Maybe some enterprising Toyota dealer would like an impressive display-piece in the showroom.

I expect this endless summer of rain has been something of a factor in your decision to sell - I can't remember the last evening I've felt bold enough to leave the cover off my own modest-condition Mk1b :cry:

Cheers Paul :) I wish you could buy it too,at least I'd know it had gone to a good home and to someone who'd appreciate its condition :) To be honest I haven't done anything about it yet ,I'm in no rush really,and I suspect I'll regret it the moment it's gone! I'm waiting for some dry weather too,the MOT's due and I need to get it out of garage to swap all the original bits back over for the sale.
