e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)
1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon. Added Auto-dim mirror, Leather seats, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer.

Aye he's still on the dark side, though he did venture into VAG ownership with a Polo GTi and an RS3. TBF the 3.0 straight 6 in his BMW is a sweet engine Not sure a D2 is on his "list", I suspect he hopes to inherit mine as it will probably outlive me

I do however have him to thank for mine as it was he that suggested I get one when I opted out of the Company Car scheme many years ago

Funniest thing I've heard today. At some point, maybe, but not for a while, I suspect...

Sad to see you leave the D2 fold David, but I’m happy you still have the Audi S5

That is a stunning TR6 you have there. My Dad has a Tahiti Blue Triumph Stag which he’s been slowing doing up over the past 18 months. He gets more looks in that than any other car he drives. You will find the same thing for you in the TR6 I’m sure

Neil, congrats on the purchase. I’ve seen David’s FE in person when we met at the Black Swan Breakfast club and it’s a fine example. You’ve chosen well
