Very impressive

How is the car running after so many miles??
Have you had gearbox refurb done by now or still going without any major repairs??

Dezzy has the bomb proof 4 speed box IIRC. It'll run forever that car.

Only 31K miles more than the D2 which I have for sale which is on 191K miles with the original (as far as I know) gearbox that has never seen any maintenance. All the 2's is impressive, shame the trip computer was not on 222.2

Yes must try harder Dezzy!
It's only done that many miles because he bought it with every intention of driving it into the ground. . . And it won't let him lol
