Hi folks. Been away for quite a while but with good reason.
 
The titanium is gone:

Really sad to see it go.
 
But the ST2 is here [emoji16]:

Some of you may know how long I've been crying about one of these so this is a really big deal for me lol I actually can't believe I finally have one. Delighted to say the least. It's mostly down to my wife that I was able to afford this car so I'm eternally greatful for what she's done for me.
 
ST2 with style pack. 2 owners, 42k miles and 4x Michelin winter tyres included with sale: £10k
 
This'll be a slow progress thread as usual but there will be small updates soon enough.

    Feel a short shift should be first performance mod to any mk3. Makes such a difference to both how it performs and feels. Love how it changed how my 1.6ecoboost feels, I've got the Autospecialists one myself.

    Hello again everyone. I know it's been ages since I last posted in here. It really is a case of 'if I remember' these days lol My time is taken up mostly by work and the little man this last year or so but work on the car is still going ahead. I've a nice list of mods to shop you since last time which I'll be posting pics of soon. In the meantime though, you can have a look at my Instagram page: @darthharrison . I've documented every mod, and every time I've cleaned the car, pretty much as it happened.

    Be back soon.
