Tempting, for such low mileage. What´s the spec?

Why does one come up like this when you've bought one?

Yep never going to fine another local with that mileage. Don't know the spec but it's cloth. If it was an es premium. I wouldn't be posting this. I'd be posting a pic on it on my drive. Lol.

It's a fantastic thread I bet loads of people are reading and enjoying it, you put us all to shame with all your hard work

Bloody Photobucket blocking third party image hosting, this thread becomes almost useless without the images!

I am looking forward to seeing the results but well done.

Yep real shame about photobucket, makes these threads rubbish without the photos he's a few I have on my flickr account to keep you going.
