Clean - Diiiiirty - Love this old thing. Been in the family for nearly 15 years now, and will never leave! I love this so much! I've had a few Landys but I've always wanted and never had a series station wagon. I can't find any pictures of my older ones at the moment sadly but this is our new family wagon: And in a bit of a fix...

Ahh that might be who I was thinking of. I've seen them before but hadn't noticed it was North America. Oops! Have some of their customers rides:

A friend of mine built his own Interceptor. I believe theres at least one company down under that makes these, but thats of no use to me up here. If I could, I would have one in seconds.

Best wishes to your wife. Thanks fella. I'd like a 6 Tommi Makinen edition if I could have any, it's my first proper fast car and it's given a taste of the fast lane and I liked it!

That's ok. I'm not into VWs either but the Corrado is just a great little car. Apart from it gets you waves off knobs with rusty bonnets on their 10 year old Golfs. Living where I do I just don't take it out in May what with Run To The Sun going on just down the road. Anyway I just picked up some extra anti roll bars, stiff springs and big turbo for the Volvo, so family car no longer Woo Ha Ha Ha ect! I hope your Lancer doesn't get broken cos it does look good, maybe doing the box yourself is the best plan? I don't see hoe you could lose money doing it. Tell me about it! Our apprentice is a Vee Dubber so he goes mad for all that... Goes over my head a little but each to their own! I've always fancied a Volvo but I'm sure she'd kill me dead if I went there! Sounds like it's going to be a handful! As for the Evo for some reason theres nowhere near the interest in the 1 that you get in the 4-6 or later, say. I really wish I could fix it myself but the little ones due anyday now so I'm run ragged with work/pregnant wife demands!

Sorry but I'm not into vws either I'm afraid, the volvos more my style but I'm sorted on the family car front so I'll have to turn that down too.
. Ill have a look see if I can borrow a trailer and get back to you...

Wow thats just amazed me. I've always loved these, or indeed anything with a rover badge! I'll have a turbo tomcat like this please and I'm happy. Or a turbo tourer...

Sorry but the volvo might be a bit sedate for me, looks really clean though glws. and french cars aren't my bag I'm afraid, sorry there too. Shes told me I'm not to swap it but what shes doesn't know won't hurt her, I would do a swap if the right offer came along.

I'll have a look on the top tonight and let you know.
I'm surprised it's still here tbh. Was a bit reluctant to go with ebay as it's such a rare motor and it would no doing go for peanuts and get broken, which would be a real shame. Howmanyleft says about 45 taxed and 22 sorn.

Good question... I'm not 100% which this is, I can check but will have to get back to you but for now...
I believe it should be either:
W5M33-2-WQGE For Evo1 GSR with no front LSD W5M33-2-WGWE For Evo1 GSR with front LSD

The car wash is run by our landlord, doesnt let cars that are too dirty use it! On the plus side he does use only Auto Glym products in it... I'm usually being worked to hard to see whos using the wash, which is a shame as some cool cars use it, saturday was a really nice original mk2 mini...
Really loving the 220 gti by the way and the 5 looks familiar.

Win win. Period touring car tweaks should cure the twee (which I don't see anyway) and a revvy three pot soundtrack should help the rest!
I'd roll that any day of the week.

I'm originally from fernilee but grew up in buxton. Living in Macc now but I work in Whaley! At the garage in Horwich End.
That certainly is an impressive car history, that 220 gti peaks my interest!
