Welcome to the forum skiddo!
Thought you would of chosen blue if your from manchester! 
Thought you had bought my one at first as thats been sitting on a forecourt for a length of time and has done only 10k.
Well it wont be sitting there for much longer as I am coming back home next month for a couple of weeks to give her a good blast and hopefully trade her for a spanking new turbo and if I aint happy with that then i'll guess I'll be dropping the car off at Regal for a bit of a power boost!
Regards,
John.

thanks for the welcome guys.
malcolm: i did - lol.
they had 2 red ones - was yours the leather interior?
i was told that mine was owned by a girl - not that i really believed them, heh.
ewp are my last 3 letters, but my clutch feels fine.
is your yellow one the one that had vx in the plate? or did you take the SE they had?
if it's the vx plate one i shot it when they first got it and still have some nice pics of it from the day i had it.

Skiddo
It was the red one with the leather. Used to belong to the MD of the company.
Mine is the yellow one that used to have the VX number plate. When I bought it they wouldn't sell them to me 
They had them fitted to the a 2002 black model with beige leather seats.
I wouldn't mind seeing the photos u've got

mal: phew. mine's the one with the cloth seats as each day since friday has passed i have fallen deeper and deeper in love. and i have the early signs of obsessive compulsive disorder - the boy who couldn't stop washing his car
incidentally, the leather trim one is on the forecourt at 18,995.
the black one with the vx plate was there today too - looks real good with the hard top - couldn't stomach the interior colour, personally - no offence if some of you guys have it .
rest assured when i had your yellow one for the day i was very, very gentle with her.
will dig the photo's out and drop something in a mail to you. as it turned out the article (for a motor mechanics college course) was pulled, so they never saw print sadly.
