He's miles away otherwise I would if he supplied the parts

Manual, I'm gutted as the guy was spot on and it really is just bad luck. Not to knock the guy but he was used to an auto and he did continually set off in 2nd/3rd from junctions on the test drive but still i feel guilty AF, poor b*****d.

So, the new owner collected the GTD last night, and get a message this morning, the clutch has failed ! You couldn't f**king make it up ! 🤦‍♂️

Masterful back heel,

Teng, their 10-19mm set can be had for about £35 or Halfords advanced 8-19mm £28 with trade card

needs some fake bbs 18's and a spring chop

I know quite a few test stations the will put you a test on over the phone,
