Cheers Glenn.
The Dolphin Grey urge is raising its head. Must resist.

A little birdie informed me that a LWT has passed the MOT with only a teensy bit of work required. Nice one Glenn
Was down at the local VW dealers this afternoon and spotted a very nice shade of light blue that would also look good. Damn, so many choices.
I'll see if I can get some black carpet offcuts to do the bits along the sill.

This morning will hopefully be the morning of LWT handoverness. Am I excited? Oh yes. Also a little scared, with regards to the errr, slanty thing in the engine bay. All will be well though.

I knew if I shouted loud enough you would hear me!
So how does it drive compared to the last time?

Well, the sound is pretty impressive. I heard LWT before I saw her.
The clutch is much heavier than I remember but then again, so is the throttle

Signal Green is Ford Paint Code 77.
Any pictures of the car in its current condition? Sounds intriguing.
