cheap (ish) GT2 daily
yeah, so you buy a car to just drive it and not spend any money on. and here it is:
the suspension is tired. handles ok, but none too sharp. "hero" brand tyres are interesting to say the least. pierburg carb is more or less working, but does tend to come back on choke once you get up some speed in sub zero temperatures. so take a deep breath, reach for a beer and a barclaycard, and hit the internet...

Looks nice and tidy, if there was nothing wrong with it what would you do in the evenings and weekends?

Re: cheap (ish) GT2 daily
I currently don't have evenings and my weekends are quite short. Hence the idea of buying one I can just drive

FYI, thought I recognised it. RR ad:

Echoing others - exterior looks nice and tidy, and looks like it's had all the right stuff done.
