Look forward to seeing it if you manage to get to Bigger at the end of the month, I will be there in mine!
Cheers mate - much appreciated. Like you say very much so worth it. Ill just plug away at it over the coming years bringing it to as nice a condition as i can.

Look forward to meeting you and the car at future shows mate - may be pushing it for this month as i have Uni exams at the end of the month but absolutely future shows!!

I've noticed elsewhere that you're selling your car. What a shame.

I noticed this as well on Pistonheads, but to be honest I think the car has been moved on since the last entry on the thread as that car is for sale in Falkirk and Russell lives in Fife!

and now appearing on CGTI at £2700 :shocking:

The seller clearly doesn't know much about the car as lots of his info is "I think" and "anyone who knows anything"... nevermind. It was a nice car, but not worth the money IMHO

And the seller is a Steven Thomson, so if it IS Russel's car, then it definitely moved on.

Unless it's been cloned, it's the same car. Reg plate is the same.

Seems sad when he started out last year all positive ... "she's a keeper" and all that.

Still, I guess people's priorities change ... in the current climate I don't suppose any of us know what's around the corner.
