Yep I certainly did mate last year around October for 7500. Tyres haven't been changed since 2012 and when I lift it I have to pry the jacks out of the jack points it's so weak with rust. Not a chance it passed a genuine MOT in at least a few years. It’s a miracle it got me back up to northern Scotland from Manchester but I do love it despite the knocking drivetrain and leaking fuel line and faulty immobiliser/power steering/headlights etc etc etc. massive project on my hands, but I have the space and time for it thankfully. I am a welder and I have worked on electrics before on motorcycles so shouldn't be too hard. famous last words eh. The previous owner mentioned Steve who originally imported it I believe, had it for a long time, sold in 2022. I had a look on google maps at the original address on the registration certificate and I can see it parked there back in 2009 before the body kit! so I think i'll send him a letter with some pics of the car if it ever gets fully fixed i'm sure he would be happy to see it. That’s incredible that you recognised it, I had a look but couldn't find a receipt in the logbook for an engine rebuild. If you happen to have any pics of it, would be great to see. Do you remember by any chance the milage at the time? We're sitting at 101k just now.

Sometime this year, we taxpayers will again receive another 'Economic Stimulus' payment.
This is indeed a very exciting program, and I'll explain it by using a Q & A format:
Q. What is an 'Economic Stimulus' payment ?
A. It is money that the government will send to taxpayers.
Q.. Where will the government get this money ?
A. From taxpayers.
Q. So the government is giving me back my own money ?
A. Yes but only a bit of it.
Q. What is the purpose of this payment ?
A. The plan is for you to use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.
Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ?
A. Shut up.
Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the U.K. economy by spending your stimulus cheque wisely:
* If you spend the stimulus money at Asda or Tesco, the money will go to China , Taiwan or Sri Lanka .
* If you spend it on petrol, your money will go to the Arabs.
* If you purchase a computer, it will go to India , Taiwan or China .
* If you purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico , Honduras and Guatemala ..
* If you buy an efficient car, it will go to Japan or Korea .
* If you purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan .
* If you pay your credit cards off, or buy shares, it will go to management bonuses and they will hide it offshore.
Instead, keep the money in the UK by:
1) Spending it at car boot sales, or
2) Going to night clubs, or
3) Spending it on prostitutes, or
4) Beer or whisky or
5) Tattoos.
(These are the only UK businesses still operating in the U.K. )
Conclusion:
Be patriotic - go to a night club with a tattooed prostitute that you met at a car boot sale and drink beer day and night.
No need to thank me, I'm just glad I could be of help.
