5 door, red, big bumper, have been told its been lowered aint got a clue how much tho.  but I'm off work tomorrow and I will be drooling over the car all day and will get some piccies :-D

but the car is awsome :-) 170000 on the clock and no rattles/smoke unlike the orion and that had done half the miles, if the car holds together for 6 months I will be really tempted to try restore it a bit.
