oh its just you said about it being 'bouncy' but anyway i think the GL looks great!
I recall you had some really nice black wheel's on it at one time. Still has great potential that car IMO

Awesome looking thing. Glad your back on it!
So is that what the top left dial is? A shift light? Wicked. In response to Theo's "buy my spoiler" if your after one you most welcome to have it, if you wanted it.

Skint for the min dude. And Tax and test is due.
But if youve still got it in 60 or so moons, I'll have it.

Ha ha, no worries. I'll still have it. I dont want anything but the postage cost for it, its not in the best nick, but I think its save-able. (He says) Either way, its a fantastic specimen of a MK2 you have!

FJs bird has had it. 2 years.
Same oil, same wiper blades, tsk. Women!
Im over mk 3 spoilers, but I do like the little mk2 one. Different enough to justify itself.
