They have another one in at the moment.

I have already spoken to TGT about this one...seems very nice. They imported it/sold it a few years ago and now have it back in stock.

I think I prefer it to the blue one they've just got in, even though it has more miles, as white and Honda just works!!! And the fruity exhaust.

Ideally I don't want to spend £10k. It would have to be a very special car for me to do that. I do really like the Accord Type-S but the more I've looked into them the more I wonder if the lack of performance would be frustrating [I think the 0-60 is over 8sec]. I think I'd be ok with that if it was returning 40mpg+, but it's likely to be closer to 30 - I'm thinking I might as well get something like an E91 330i [finding a good one with all the important bits done might be tough] which offers so much more go but not much less mpg?!

I have been umming and ahing about a mk5 Golf GTi I've spotted [MDMA, I think I'm right in saying you bought a mk5 GTi after you sold me the Forester]. It's a yellow Pirelli [obviously an import]. It looks so so clean, but I need to check on service history, if it has any!!!
My old Pirelli is/was for sale recently. Let me see if i can find it.
