tony g Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Hi everyone, found this great site a few weeks ago and registered yesterday! I had a B series coupe 10 years ago and I am hoping to buy an A series this week all being well. I have been lurking here getting ideas and info and will no doubt be asking you guys for advice in ther near future. Cant wait to see the A now and hope its not TOO rusty lol.

tony g Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Just to add an update.... I never bought the A i first posted about.....but i did buy another on tuesday this week You may well know the car as the lime green A with black stripe and wide arches. I bought it from Kev who will also be known to many here. Im currently chasing a gte engine setup to get it back on the road and im really looking forward to driving it! Long term plans will involve a turbo jap engine (very high power) but the gte motor will do for now Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
