I think the VR is a fantastic car, fuel consumption is poor compared to other cars but so what? You buy a VR for the noise more than anything, it still pulls, and even though I haven't driven one, VRDan (friend of mine) does and been in it many times, it's a lot of fun just being a passenger let alone driving it I imagine.

I agree mate, I've been in a VR - and nothing quite matches that sound. I actually had an oppurtunity to buy a pretty good cond one for £500, but £2800 insurance made me think twice.  :sad:

I know what you mean, insurance on them is taking the clappers! Mind you I've managed to pull my insurance on one down to £1100 which I don't think is too bad given my circumstances. I doubt I'd buy one though, I'd rather save and get an R32.  :grin:

I'll settle for the seats then. You can keep the rims. I'll give you the torn seats from my MK2?  :grin:

Serial? Jeez, I've been getting quotes on an 8v and 16v MK3 lately and they've been coming out £750/£780.  :undecided:
