Re: [doc] OT - next gull wing arrived in the fold

["Phill Wright" <psw@xxxxxxxx>]

Mmm, the colour, wife likes it but I'm not keen (bit Girly :-))  ) 
thinking of changing it. Also, some nice chrome alloys and new 
leather interior, but all done tastefully of course. Will have to do 
the LED lighting mods, plus needs gas struts on the doors as they sag 
a bit if pointing even slightly uphill :-)
Yes, I'd say they are 'Butterfly doors', but the Japanese do call 
them gull wings. They made about 15,000 of them between 90-94. Just 
ordered a new radiator, sourced one for 127 quid, same as an 89' 
starlet 3.

Also, just put an offer in for a private plate for it (not wasting 
any time eh! )
