Sounds like a winner to me mate. I'd go for that one. :)
-
Did you win the one on ebay Rob - looks like you?
-
That one looks quality and there must be at least ?400 in the leather interior alone, sounds like a bargain to me.? :D You could be cheeky and ask if they'll take ?850 - ?900 cash there and then if it's decent, money talks mate ;D
-
damn sounds like a nice car.. get it! :)
-
nah did not fancy the black 1
but i won the bid on the white one gettin it on sunday
takin it to work on monday and there gonna check it all out for me
but it all sounds good need a part which costs 20quid n thats it

-
h3ll for that price i will have the black one. lol. put the interior in mine and sell it on.
-
I got plans for this car so I dont mind doin a bit of work on it

Nice one Rob, just take it easy driving back, wouldn't want anything to happen to it.
Just remember that driving too fast doesn't allow people to see how cool your new motor is!!

wow, how brilliant, you definitely needed a faster car ?:-\ >:( ::)
-
oh sh!te, that wasn't the best thing to do! damn lucky though i must say...could be alot worse
-
good idea Blue. I like your thinking
thanx Ads. was thinking of buying one for winter myself ;)
Rob so you have already f**ked your car up then? ?:o
post pics mate and parts should be cheap as most of us have spares anyway
-
Oh Dear Rob. I think most of us have probably dons something equally stupid when we get our first fast car. I just hope you can get it sorted and learn to take it steady next time. There could be something a little softer than a kerb to hit, if you get my drift (no pun intended)

i'm not with you? why keep the tow bar on?
-
Just in case someone skids, and rear ends you, when its icy!!
-
oh right. thats a very glass half empty way of looking at things! :P or maybe i'm just stupid! ha ha!
-
verdict
i took it into work today
and the bottom arm is fine drivers side is fine
but the passenger side needs a wheel knuckle the guy sed
there 15quid or so from scrappy and i saw where he was comin from coz
i cud see how the wheel was bent nothin else was damaged
but... luckily a golf gti mk2 came into work today as a trader
knackered but me n another guy with a mk2 are buyin it for 50quid
i am gonna have the knuckle off it or hub dunno proper name
and the door handles and the seats as they are good condition
and whatever else i can grab
i went to the skid scene today they is a huge puddle so i aquaplained on it
it was dark i never saw it
takin it easy from now on dont wanna lose the beast
-
Bit of luck there Rob. Hope you dont need it again!! Take care driving now mate.
-
110 in the wet in an unfamiliar car ? you nutter ! lol
as someone said though we've all done silly things, and you learn from them.. could have been a LOT worse at those speeds. If you get clocked at speeds anywhere near that mate it'll be an instant ban and re-test at your age.. you worked bloody hard to get that car buddy.. try and keep it ?;)
-
yeah I dont wanna do out daft again like that
not very nice knowin my cars broke but should be fixed this week
sold the polo today weyhey ;D
