Cosmic EP3 type r

[white sport]

Just a wee update give the car a oil and filter change I try to change every 4-5k.

And had a 12x6 rear reg plate made as the other was just a bit to big as people said and it put me off it lol

Debating selling, love the car and was thinking of a st225

An ST225 will be nothing even remotely like the type R.

Just depends I guess, the ST will probably be a nicer place to be every day. But nowhere near as fun.

Hadn't updated for a while, in the end I kept her, had actually the right offers coming in for it, but just couldn't find a decent replacement, so just been routine maintainece and driving away at it, 2 wheel studs snapped on me so replaced them at the weekend

 

[white sport]

Took front tints off as mot was due today and actually prefer the look now there off and she passed for another year
