drive's only big enough for two cars and we've got two already.
I've got a feckin conservatory stopping me putting a garage back up. Good luck anyway...
When do you get the sunflower.
I've always wondered what expenses they can claim back, for example tyre's after your cars been used on a feature track day or an article where you've drifted round the same corner 20 times for the photographer
found it, it was in issue 163
PX'd Silver GT3 (put in remaining equity of that car) added £15,000 deposit. Paid an extra £1152 on debit card and borrowed £100,000 on Porsche finance.
Monthly payment of £1280.71 over 48 months.
List price was £135,276 but he added quite a few extras (over...
as said before, a couple of months ago there was a breakdown in Evo of what deposit he'd paid and what the monthly figures were (and the final ballooooon payment).
That write up did lead you to believe it is his car, I don't know what he claims (or claimed) back off Evo.
There was a thread not too long ago about headphones. My lad has got some urban ears - nice and comfy with good quality sound, although they were £50..
working for myself I use my car for going to meetings etc, one previous job was a large sports hall development at an expensive private school in Rutland. The architect (I have to work closely with them due to my job) was a large London outfit and I had regular meetings on site with them and the...
I got my first 205 gti at 32 and got a 172 at 36. Could have gone out a got a much newer and bigger car but didn't want one plus i hate losing money on cars. My cars prior to the 205 were family orientated while the kids grew up. The 172 only went because we bought a caravan (after 10 years of...
I take this approach, I'm always surprise how many times I can predict what someone's going to do before they do it. Then if they nearly crash into me and I press the horn the clueless look they give does wind me up.
Too many people don't take any pride in how they drive. I agree bad driving...
for a daily driver mine would be
standard bodywork
decent size wheels - prefer OEM looking wheels.
good stance - not too low though.
OEM looking replacement front seats
rest of mods being mechanical...
for a sunday best car (showing off car) or track car it would be different.
Funny but true, worst are the car supermarket sales guys. Although you do occasionally come cross an independent that has some interest in cars and knows what they are talking about.
Not a modifying trend but something fitted to new cars that annoys me is when one fog light comes on when they turn a corner. Why do they need to do that are the headlamp so bad that they need to do it..:dead:
it was crap like Fido Dido from the 7up ad when I was younger....
My son will be learning to drive in the next few years so I've already started to try and point him away from shite like that. Only time will tell what happens.
Put it this way if his car is fit for the barry boys web site it...
Our 1995 punto did something similar, it was head gasket. £18 for head gasket kit and a Sunday to fit and it ran spot on after (I'd never done anything like that before but found it quite simple). Punto's of that age are prone to HG failure. What year is yours.
If you de-badge it, is there anyway of the thieving scum knowing it's a 535 and not a lesser model.
I'd love one but it'd have to be a touring (in black) to bring the dog along for the ride.
what a load of CGI crap....someone prove me wrong please.
Horrid looking car, but fantastic concept - small, RWD, great chassis, loads of power......why can't more (better looking) car's be like this.
Bought a very clean 205 gti for £1200, did a trackday in it and big end bearings went.
Cost about £800 to rebuilt engine plus some other bits sold it two years later for £1150.
Most I've lost is probably £2k in six months on a brand new punto that we got at a heavily discounted price. If we...
