Looks great Ian, so the plan is still to pass it on, I'm sure you will miss the turbo but I'm sure Gus will make up for it .
Good luck and be safe.

I love driving the GTI Thomas but I’ll always have a RX7. I’ve still got Gus and drive him a few days each week but I haven’t got the space to store cars I hardly ever use and the Elford is surplus to requirements. I’ve hardly driven it in the last 2 years so it’s time to move it on and let someone else enjoy it and I’ll drop down to 1x gti and 1 x rx7 plus maybe another daily driver
