Re: [doc] M1 Crash/who's getting the garage

["Claire Usher" <claire_usher71@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Haha, mines turquoise with all the bling bling chrome :-)

I remember seeing one up the road from my mums house when I was a 
kid, it was the Holbay tuned H120 version in white, with a black 
vinyl roof and black side stripe.  I remember looking at it longinly 
every day on my way home from school thinking how much I'd like one 
one day.....25 years on I finally get one :oD

I'm gonna get 'down and dirty' in the garage later tho, gonna clean 
the air box and oil breather out and I need to change a couple of oil 
seals too, but nothing too difficult as the engine is lovely and 
simple to work on and everything is easy to get at.

I'll post some pics up later,
