ERA Turbo Forum

Hi Duncan 10:40 or 15:40 will probably be fine.

Hi Paul. I sent out another reminder to mini mag this week, and copied Chris in on the email. I have still not had a reply back.

Might have to get some of your expesive drill bits

just been searching on ebay (as usual) and have just found this one. this is new to me, Tahiti Blue! looks like it has Revolution 4 spokes, but still has original interior. it has Aircon, but Looks like a CD multi changer in the glovebox rather than aircon, but i suspect it is aircon painted silver....
