Oh no ! What can you say about that. It has to be on a par with the 1.1 saxo that someone posted the other day. Why oh why oh why oh why ?:o :o :o

Post by: piggy on 11 November 2004, 18:55
I thought that the Saxo was laughable, but this is just outrageous >:(

It's a nice car underneath all of that makeup cr@p >:( >:(

What idiot in their right mind is going to buy it. Bet it doesn't get a "True" bid. Unless some bloke from Nigeria wants it  ;D

what the....

I'm ashamed. It's a 1.4 to start with, then they spent all the money on tacky plastic bits but overlooked the simple mods like colour coding the bump strips and door handles.
Oh and the big chunk missing out of the hideous front splitter is a nice touch.

Thought I'd be the first to suggest that Marcus buys this one, if he's not going to get a Corrado / Another GTi ;D

Only suggesting it before someone else does Marcus ;)

Oh dear, it's in Barnsley ! I can only apologise to everyone on behalf of the county of Yorkshire,   ;D Oh yeah ! Buy it now for ?7,500 ! I always thought Barnsley was quite close to me, but now I realise that it's actually on another planet  ;D

Seems only a few threads ago you and the Count were crowing on about Yorkshire ;D
Now you're apologising on behalf of it ;)

Anyone remember the Mk4 GTi advert, where they had all been bazzed up, and the last one had a tear in its (headlamp) eye?

I'm pretty sure this is one of those cars.

What an absolute mongrel. Never understand the logic behind their thought process; Take a slow car, add loads of weight to it to make it look faster, but end up making it slower.

Obviously not going to be winning The Weakest Link anytime soon.

What i want to know is if these people acctually think "yeah my car looks good" despite the fact that the front lip, the side skirts and the rear lip DONOT match AT ALL! not one of the 4 sides match eachother, Ive tried to make mine match as best as i could, But i still stand back sometimes and think "hmmm it needs lower skirts" but WTF was that girl thinking? do you think she botherd to consider what each mod would look like togeather, or just saw them on different cars and thaught a mix match of all the parts will make a good car  ::)

Mate, thats the whole reasoning behind the chav culture. They do it because they can't see how rediculous they are, its like alcoholics or heroin addicts.. they can't fix the problem until they admit there is a problem ! All those kevs walking round with their trackies tucked in their socks whilst wearing rockport boots and a kappa jacket/burberry cap do so because they honestly believe they look fashionable and cool !
Hmm.. i should write a thesis on that..  8)

Dear lord, I just thaught the owner was blind, or somehow could see the line that travels down the bottom of the car, Its there someplace, sorta curls in the middle.....She got the side skirts from Carlton autos, Thats where i got mine too, Only those side skirts cost on the good side of ?300

Know what you mean speedy... I sometimes think that my rear suspension is not low enough compared to the front and that it looks a bit odd, but that pales into insignificance compared to the asymmetry of that beast!

yeh i was 100% on that at one stage, now ive seen a nice 90 spec mark 2, and ive started to fall on love with mk2's again.

also if i brought the golf it would turn out to be mental, ive got some great ideas for it already. :D

id wanna keep the corrado pretty standard. :-\

decisions descions, im still looking at Fiat coupe T's :o, damn autotrader website >:(

Exactly  :D
Title: Re: Bad Mk4
Post by: ...joe on 14 November 2004, 18:40
i think you should buy a corrado with the intention of keeping it standard, as thats what you said you realy wanted, then a few months down the line you'll be happily modding it!
Title: Re: Bad Mk4
Post by: marcus123 on 14 November 2004, 18:49
true again ;)...

there is one in hull that i am 80% that it maybe the one,

91H, 120k miles, 1.816V, Dragon green, sebrings, totally standard.

ill post up some pics of it on monday ;)
Title: Re: Bad Mk4
Post by: piggy on 15 November 2004, 01:15
Come on Marcus, the suspense is killing us ;D
Just buy it. If you get another Mk2 you'll only be wondering what your missing out on ::)
Either that or go right over the top with a mega project >:D

Could sit at home not moving for months like most projects while you walk to work, or keep using the girlfriends red mens mag ;)
Title: Re: Bad Mk4
Post by: marcus123 on 15 November 2004, 09:24
