    Electric blue 5 in Southend

    Was heading over to Wakering along the dual carriageway between Southend and Thorpe Bay last night, out the blue I had a rear view full of electric blue gt turbo, big FMIC, tailgating me to start with then backed off and followed me for a couple of miles

    Pretty sure it had black wheels (19 16V phase 1 spring to mind?) on an E plate

    paid the 700 for it mate, thought it was a steal with tax & mot.

    turns out needs some work doing which would have been nice for the seller to be honest and said as i still would have bought it.. but oh well

    bit of a project to keep busy now, plan on some tuning and putting back to showroom condition,

    I'm glad a member has now got there hands on it. Would be great to see it back how it used to be.

    I have a practical performance mag at home where the car was featured for there "how to modify r5 gtt" article in conjunction with bbpt.

    I'd dig it out and post sum pics.
