...i now have my lude

after a combined day of about 15 hours driving with LLL (most of which was his) we found this beaut.

2.2 h22a8 '99 4ws + motegi kit in good condition. only bad points we really could piont to are a small oil leak (simple fix) and the wheels could do with a refurb, other than that i think ive done excellent for my first lude for a car of that age with my budget.

ill do some proper pictures and a bit of a profile after ive given it a poke with a toothbrush and the suns back out

over 370 mile round trip with obviously 2 vehicles coming back and m6 rush hour madness and accidents

totally worth it though

I got stuck in motorway traffic bringing mine back, that was when i discovered the sticky throttle cable when the car got warm. Thought i'd broke the car within an hour of owning it lol! Never happened on the test drive!

I'm not keen on the colour, but this looks like a nice example.

LOOOOOOOONG day

viewed one bad lude and one good one. The oil leak is the cam bung. It Might even just be overspill from the filler. im not 100% yet. drives like it should, loads of paperwor and the text check came back clean so I think we have a new member to the family

sunday drives will be so much more fun now.
