i think i'd put that down to it being quite low even as stock, and the lack of power steering, making you feel more in touch with the road and in control

Its just the higher than 1.3 CL engine revs that I didnt like on a standard GT. G40 brakes made me feel a whole lot better about motorway driving too. 8)

Well whadya know, you're original interior is in my CL :lol: . Was just curious as when I picked up the interior, a GT with a similar plate to yours was on his drive having a G40 interior put in it. Turns out it is your GT.

From what he was saying to me, one of the strongest GTs he's had (I believe hes had a fair few), so should be a good little motor for someone if you are deciding to part with it. Very low mileage too, I can understand why you want to keep it that way.

:D Cool, I did kind of wonder where it went! It is very strong, really good to drive, and still low milage too. Hence me wanting to sell it fairly soon to keep it that way if possible :)

I still don't know what price to advertise it at though....I guess I need to do a bit more research!

My GT has never ever complained doin' miles upon miles. I've never had a sore back or become uncomfortable in it, it's not twitchy on the dual carriageways/motorways and will always return good MPG.

Aberdeen - Northampton - Aberdeen, it didn't miss a beat once. And that was in the space of three days (just over 1100 miles).

I'd quite happily do 60 miles a day in a car I know wouldn't return any problem instead of risking it all on a car I would hope is better suited for an easy job.

Just my opinion.
