No, I'm in Castletown in e' fine county o' Caithness. I remember a black sport leaving the county heading to Orkney a few years back, and I was sure that it was G plater. Maybe it was on an F plate after all.

Have you had the sport long ? I remember my good mate Craig Burns who used to own the Quoyburry Inn telling me about a black sport for sale a few years ago.

Anyway, welcome !! It's nice to see somebody else from way up north on the zone !!

That's the one !! Black sport with black leather and Alpina's. I tried to buy it a few years ago, but the owner had a change of heart before the sale went through. T'was a nice car and I can only hope that it still is !!

Oh, yeah, with regards to economy, get yourself a zone chip for the sport. It'll give you much better throttle response and will reduce fuel consumption. Not bad for Ã‚£65 !!
