Mines got 116k on it, and I dont think its ever been loved, poor thing. Just cost me a f**kin packet in repairs  :o

Still, it IS my dream car  :D :D :D :D

Hi guys n gals :)

On my second C now first was a black 16valver, looked very nice but not as quick as my Mk2 Golf GTi that she replaced. Current motor an M reg VR6 in a very rare one year only special order colour "violet pearl metallic " or something similar 8). Standard apart from a K & N induction kit, the roar is just unbelievable when you stand on the throttle ;D ;D ;D
Having to stand her up at the minute as funds are a bit short :(, but she'll be back on the road in springtime when the sun is shining and the roads are a bit cleaner :) The acceleration of the VR6 is awesome, as er indoors says when? we've got past the 120 as "it doesn't accelerate quite as fast" ;D Have been known to keep up with an M3 in the past but a chipped 200SX was a bit trickier ;)
All in all agood car with a decent sized boot, adequate rear legroom for the kids and outstanding looks.
30mpg on a run down to 12 on a bl**dy good thrash, the only problem being that when you give her some beans you are travelling at a fair rate of knots? :o

Happy motoring

I realised today that mine is missing the handbrake gaitor...i think? Should it have a leather one?  :-\

Mine is leather, but so is the trim. I think my mates 16v, cloth trimmed C has a leather gaitor though.

I went to look at a 91 (J) white G60 yesterday, very tempted to buy it....  had 106k on the clock, fsh up to 90k and decent bodywork....

Was priced at 2k - do you think its a good price?
