Default Saloon is kool.....

I like the saloon to, Years ago (1997) had an Hatch, early GLT in Red (More Orange....) but there was a Met Blue GLE Saloon that I really liked next to it on the lot.... Just was younger then and Hatch said young, in my eyes! PX's a Fiesta 1.1 for the GLT, was a lot (light speed compared) faster but when pushed hard the front didn't like to grip.

I bet it was faster, probably had over twice the power weighing only 250kg more haha.

I saw a saloon the other day. I want one. I also saw the rarest 360 I've ever seen, well the second rarest. I've seen a fully race spec single stub race hub one, but this had a FULL 360 BODYKIT. i nearly ran the red light to chase it.

Good thing you didn't otherwise there would be one less 360 on the road haha. If you see it again you should ask to buy the car or the kit lol.

There seems to be something wrong with this thread, every time I log in it says there is a new post from Logan from the previous day.

It's a "feature" of the forum software, every time someone votes it appears as a new post.

It'll be all those people bumping saloons no doubt...
