[Axeboy]

I bagged this of the bay...

Thought id copy and post... its pretty interesting. Good to see the options packs for the Lancer 2000. Also, didnt know they done a Lancer 1600GSR...

Kieran will like the L300...

Anyways, not sure if it should be put in the members area or Library?

Why don't 8G's have a 'fuse failure check system' that would solve a few problems!

Pity there is no gear ratios and engine power outputs, that is what excites me

Lovely photo of the Sigma estate! Though shame about the square 'American' style headlamps.

I owned the 2.0 GLX estate for 6 years, in the same blue colour as my signature at the same time as the 6G Galant, but with the round headlamps and I always loved driving the Sigma.

Rear wheel drive, and you could throw it into any corner (if you could handle the body roll) - it had a character all of its own!

I wonder how many GSR's or evebn the 1400's are left?

[ritch_w]

not many - never see them for sale these days

nearly bought a brown one off ebay last year (same as my first!) but the seller was a young lad and a total fanjita
