Yup indeed she wouldn't mind one of those actually, she's been using mine so she's used to them now lol, the 2.0 gives 172 BHP and it's a 6 cylinder which is a bonus so it makes a good noise. Will keep my eye for more of these, Scorpio and miggy have to go quick now!  :(

take a measure of the distances of the four wheels to door gaps or some fix points..nowadays I see many cars with chasis problems..or at least use your fingers to check clearences :y

Yeah have always done the finger thing (sounded kinda wierd). Think I may pass on this one though gonna take me a good 4 weeks to sort the scorpio out that needs new autobox oil and a good polish up but that really is such a mint car. Calling PeteG from here on monday regarding my Omega  :y
