    Probably trigger mauve - that's a grey/purple colour.

    There are a couple of disk threads suggesting replacements, but I don't know how to point at them.

    Congrats on the purchase, hope it is making you smile

    When you say london/birmingham, when and where are you in birmingham?

    Welcome aboard Sam. Get some pics up of your vr-4 in the picture forum and we can all judge if it is the meanest front out there

    Ah....... I see.

    College Road goes from the Chester Road near tescos at the baggots bush over towards the greyhound stadium near one stop. Passes a mcdonalds, a Seat garage, and a large ford garage on the way.
