hello everyone
i've been hovering about on here for a couple of weeks now, just going through your 'search' function, and reading a few articles
anyhow. got myself a very cheap '96 406 executive, which i'm really liking at the mo
couple of little faults, but nothing too serious i hope
the car is more a daily driver, but i have a '88 309 gti which i have built back up to 'as new' condition
cheers
