tbh the state of the blue one (at the moment) doesn't look too bad... aslong as you can read german  ;D ;D ;D

the rattly noises are worrying though...  Still, not like an AR35 will cost the earth really!

I still think the mini-facelift looks better than the facelift. :P

Run for cover

Nah I agree with you :)  Only thing I prefer from the Facelift to the Pre, is the leather interior and thats it :y

Busy day today

Went to the otherside of Chester to remove the second hand box which was quite easy as the engine had already been removed. I thought I was going to die when I carried the box complete with torque convertor from the car to the rear of the house on my own (about 60ft :'() then gave it a good clean up ready for the strip down to replace the thrust washers, filter and gaskets. I then started to strip the Elite ready for the box which I hope will go in next Sunday (finger crossed). Its now time for a nice bath and a couple of beers :y
