hey
im james, just bought on the weekend an albi blue 197 and thought i would sign up here as i did a bit of lurking before actually buying one and reading the buyers guide and stuff. i just copied across the thing i put on pistonheads, if you are on there im C2james.
so after over 3 years of owning my C2 it is finally time to part ways. it has served me well through learning to drive and attending nearly every SS in the past 2+ yrs, it wasnt that quick or well built but it was actually pretty good and i really good first car to me as it never broke down once and was generally pretty good, here is the last picture i have of it.
a bit dirty
and then today i picked up this albi blue 197, the wheels are a bit darker than i wanted but the rest of the car is actually quite good with just a few cosmetic bits of pieces for me to sort out and also some need to get some good tyres on it as the garage put on some ditchfinder piece of ****. :hehe: will probably swap to conti 5s rather than the pirelli nero zeros on it at the moment. body work is in fairly good condition and just needs to be tidied up a bit in some places but that is to be expected of an early car like this. here are a few pictures i took when i collected it today, will get some better pictures soon.
The car also comes with climate control which is nice, the cabasse 6 cd stereo and a milltek catback. the previous owner put an ipod connector in and one of the things i need to sort out is the stereo distorts at high volume which is annoying but im hoping its just to do with the sub thing that is in the boot and what the owner put all the settings to.
hope you guys find this slightly interesting.
