Title: 5 doors
Post by: sKrEwBaLL on 30 October 2003, 23:29

Has anyone got any idea how much heavier a 5 door is compared to a 3 door?  I'm getting paranoid that my 5 door is a bit of a fatty    :-\

Gotta admit, the 3 door looks a lot better.  I didnt really think about it when I was buying the car  ::)

I've only ever owned 3dr cars!

I'm massooof - and the chair don't go back far enough in a 4/5dr

I suppose theyre OK if youre a lazy bstard like myself so you dont have to get up off your arse if someone in the back wants out.  hmmm clutching at straws here.  OK OK THEYRE SH1T.

always a practical car to sell to a "family" man   ;D

Book price marks up the 5 doors being worth more than 3drs - but in reality it's not like that is it?

Title: Re:5 doors
Post by: sKrEwBaLL on 30 October 2003, 23:54

I'm not sure a family man would be interested in my car.  He could lose one of his children up one of my tailpipes   :o

My mate has converted his 91 1.6 Driver  - into a 20v turbo with 320 Bembos and Emerald <anagement system.

one thing with 3 doors is that people slam your front seats back into position!

Sound like you need to rip ALL your seats out and just have a drivers seat in the middle like a golf shaped go kart

Post by: Slim Shady on 31 October 2003, 00:06

What actually happened?  I remember you saying something about a Transit van....    ???

Title: Re:5 doors
Post by: Dizzie on 31 October 2003, 01:04

I never stacked a golf, but I wrapped a polo round a pub sign doing 100mph sideways. then wound down the window and climbed out ;D

Title: Re:5 doors
Post by: Slim Shady on 31 October 2003, 09:56

100mph in  a Polo?

You sure?

 ;)

Title: Re:5 doors
Post by: sKrEwBaLL on 31 October 2003, 10:03

Well I suppose if you're going to crash into something, you might as well crash into a pub.  You could sink a few while waiting for the police.  Hold on, something tells me that might not be such a good idea after all  ::)

Post by: Slim Shady on 31 October 2003, 10:04

 . . . he was probably doing doughnuts in the pub car park!

 ;D

Title: Re:5 doors
Post by: Dizzie on 31 October 2003, 12:04

actually I was driving home 2 weeks after passing my test and wound her up to 100. she was only a little 1.0 ;D then went pass the 'hidden dip' sign and came out sideways. took it down the road hit the verge outside the pub tipping me onto my side (drivers side down). then slide 5 metres on the verge reducing their monument and 2 pub benches to nothing and wrapping it round their sign ;D
I then switched off the stereo that was still going (joy of tapes never jump), lights and ingition and stood up - on the drivers door. I couldn't open the door cos I'd bent the floor so I slowly wound down the passengers window smashing the glass as it came down and climbed out.
the people from the pub ran out wondering what that big bang was. they were all "you alright son?" I'm like "yeah fine thanks". They then took me in for coffee until my dad arrived in works recovery truck and towed me home.
my step-dad does have a photo of it afterward that I want so I can send it into Revs to get some free wheels ;D

5 doors are the daddys

Title: Re:5 doors
Post by: Dizzie on 01 November 2003, 16:18

it was like 4 years ago Slim. Grown up a bit since then. Still like to have a fast drive now and then in the golf, but at least it'll hold the road better than the 1.0 polo ;D

I knew Hiten would have something to say about 5 doors ;D

Title: Re:5 doors
Post by: Hiten on 01 November 2003, 16:45

I've stuck with my 5 door for over 9 years now.  The only problem was that i had to pay double for the audi door handles.
