Just sold the B  It's nice to get it over with after all the hassle but didn't quite get as much as I wanted for it. It's gone to Bedfordshire so locals keep an eye out 
I now see why people say how sad it is seeing it drive away  But it looked fantastic doing it 
No thread like this would be complete without excessive pics so here goes:
A couple of months after I got it:
Wheels fitted:
At Trax '08 
First RR run:
Random picture:
Underneath a dusting...:
...That caused this:
Back on Steelies:
Size 11 arch gaps:
At a service station just outside Bristol coming back from picking up Spax suspension:
Fitted:
Ashley backbox fitted:
:/
After Apex 40mm rear springs fitted and Dodo Juiced:
Bought 60mm Apex kit:
At PVS '09:
Wheels back on:
Detailed:
Random pics:
Dyno'd in November:
Random snow pic:
Pics for the advert:
Pics from today after the second biggest clean it's ever had:
So there we are, two years summed up in one post. It's been a good ride

that car was so clean dave.
onwards and upwards though. i've gone the opposite way
i know what you mean about seeing it drive away. i wasn't too gutted though as it meant i was about 500 pounds a month better off

Fair enough People kept trying to get it for nothing, as is always the way.

Too right Phil, and proud of it
I u2u'd you before I listed it Jonny, you never replied 
16" mate 195/45/16 tyres.
You and me both Ant. It went for £1100. Wanted at least £1200 for it really but if it didn't sell today then I would have had to split it and it would have cost me money to get some standard parts and all the extra hassle.
I have some spare bits in the garage so will have a parts for sale thread up soon

Cheers guys
Nah it wasn't the Epsom one Matt, they never rang back 
It's Harlington in Beds Never heard of it myself
Yeah tbf the book price is about £1k but it proper gleams and has about £700 worth of stuff on it 
He kept going on about it having a possible HG problem even though we both knew it was perfectly fine. There was some mayo on the oil cap (that I forgot to check for ) and even though the dipstick was clean, coolant was fine and there was no water coming out the exhaust, he kept going on about it. I think it's because it's the only thing "wrong" with it (that wasn't really wrong) so he was using it to get the price down.

Cheers mate Yeah I'm hoping he looks after it, it'll be his first car too which is what I expected tbh what with the engine. It is good that it's gone far away because then if it has Lexus lights and a Saxo spoiler put on I won't have to see it
Definitely  Went for a good drive this afternoon which included blasting up the dual carriageway, showing a guy up in his Pug Used a lot of petrol though  Nearly a week's worth
