Sixth was 00type rx dc2 registered in Ireland as a 98:angry2::angry2: didn't no it was a genuine 00 rx until a fella who was the first owner in ireland contacted me and said it was only registered as a 98 because it saved him 3k on vrt was by far fastest but the most smoky teg iv had

Seventh was 98pre face lift ek9 had big plans for it but unfortunately I'm very picky when it comes to paint work and I just wasn't happy with it! When I bought it I tot I would be able to break the habit of being so picky but obviously didn't work :angry: so I sold her on as I don't believe in puting money into a respray I'd much prefer to put that extra money towards a cleaner car costs alot less.. Only put big money into engines because u can always take it back out if your selling car not like paint can't take that back :))

Yeah it is fairly pricy but the car was only a couple years old when it was imported so that would explain most of the cost on vrt

And yeah people just can't seem the idea of reversing in car parks
