I'll break out the old list of listers with true 5sp cars.
The Subject header should all so be changed.
We 1st started to discuss 92-94 Black interiors, went off to motor swaps in C4 & typee 44 Avants, now onto how many 5sp cars are still round... it's a mess.... who started this who thread anyway's..... LOL
