Title: ED30 #0465 Newbie from Leeds
Post by: glowery on June 06, 2016, 12:43:21 am
Hey everyone

Thought I'd introduce myself,

Recently picked up a tornado red ED30 with 90k on the clock.

Going to look to leave it relatively standard on the engine front but want to upgrade the suspension as its feeling quite tired!

I'd upload pictures but I have no idea how you do it from an iPhone!

Cheers

Grant

Don't suppose you bought it from a garage in Sheffield did you? There was a red one with 90k and a similar number to yours that I've been able to see from my house for a few weeks that's just gone!
