Bought another FTO today.

Postby ottostreet » Fri Dec 14, 2012 9:12 pm

Cos life is for living.

1997 GPX. Car well known to the forum, will stick some pics up soon. Feels very heavy compared to the vR!

Ehh... don't have one yet. Just fancied another one. I'll give it to the girlfriend when she learns to drive a manual!

Cheers, to be honest, I've no real idea what to do with it!

I'm just driving it while my Version R has some work done that takes it off the road. I'll clean this one up a bit and remove some of the tat, but beyond that, I've no idea what to use this for!

Still, it's very nice to park the two up side by side. Really makes it obvious how low the vR really is by comparison!

Looks....amazingly dirty (rich coming from me I know) in that pic or is it just the camera shot ? Also what are those marks on the corner of the bonnet, just above the headlight ?

Both cars are extremely dirty. Haven't been washed since the meet!

That's one of those 'Domo' stickers above the headlight, and the clasps for the carbon bonnet. There's loads of stickers all over the car, going to clean it up and desticker it when I've some free time.
