Just got my dream motor :-) **UPDATED**
« on: 27 October 2010, 21:23 »
 Have just got home after viewing and buying my dream car.....a Dragon Green VR6. Always fancied one and was delighted to do the deal and am glad to see the back of my Mark 4 to be honest. Bodywork is very clean with one scratch about 2/3 inches long. Engine runs as sweet as a nut with no nasty noises or leaks or blowing smoke etc. Interior is spotless throughout. Plans are to put the original wheels off my 8v on this along with the smoked indicators and joeyed lights. Then not much else really except enjoy it  :smiley:  Going to give it a damn good clean the weekend. Excuse the pics but these are from the e.bay advert as it's too dark to take pics of my own yet  :grin: :grin:

Nice one mate! Always wanted a vr6 myself. Whats goin on with the steering wheel on that one? Did you just message the guy on ebay and ask for a swap then? Good luck with it mate, bet you'll get bored of your 8v now!

Hi Buddy.....saw the ad on the bay and dropped the guy a text late last night. Spoke to him today and went to view after work. A really nice chap but limited knowledge of the car. Spent about 2 hours looking around it and driving it and took the plunge.
As for the 8v Mate....after driving this home I am seriously tempted to put it up for sale after swapping over the few bits I want on the new one. Not sure yet as the 8v has sentimental value to me and would make me cry to see someone drive it away  :cry: :grin:  Always knew the Mark 4 would come in handy for something though Mate.  Wanna buy the 8v ??

Keep the 8v mate, keep it mint, undercover or summat?! Is the VR6 loads quicker? Damn, I want one now that Ive seen this.

What bits are you swapping anyway? Im hoping the steering wheel and rear lights for a start. :laugh:

Wheels, smoked indicators and joeyed headlights. Don't want to completely break up the 8v. The rear lights actually look nice on the motor in the flesh and are staying for now  :huh: As for the steering wheel.....I will find a replacement first as I don't want the standard wheel in there as it will not really match the rest of the interior so for now that stays until I find something else I like.
I am not convinced I need to sell the 8v but it's a shame to leave it sitting on the drive all the time although if the fuel consumption in the VR is too high then the 8v will be the works car and the vr for weekend.....who knows ??

That sounds like the best idea! You get to keep the 8v for doing the daily things as it was intended and keep the VR as something a bit more special!

Looks ace mate, nice buy, engine looks spotless. So, tell us, what's it like compared to the 8v? will the 8v beat it thanks to it's torque?  :grin: :grin: :grin:
