Another one to the fleet

[MarcB]

Well i have always wanted one and as it happens it was red also.

I know its not the 225 and its the Dci 175 but none the less i can't wait to get my hands on it.

I left a large deposit today and go back hopefully on wednesday night to collect it after sorting out insurance and tax.

So the fleet goes as

Audi A3 TDi S-Line
Escort RS Turbo
Clio 182 Trophy
Clio 172 (Monaco) - This will be for sale soon.
Ford Puma
Meg 175 Dci

Awesome mate! Is this from Glasgow this 175? I've always been entrigued by them. Think I will have one at some point depending how the engine goes

 

[Ian_182]

Nice cars, I think I prefer this version over the petrol for wafting in traffic.
Here's a little road test for a nice comparison

Brilliant motors - I'm enjoying mine. The looks of the RS with 450-500 miles per tank!

 

[Crybert]

I like them too. I reckon it's got a lot going for it. Shame there won't be much noise from it. What's the tuning potential for them? Would be nice to get them upto 225 territory

 

[danward]

They are very quiet. A simple remap takes them to 200, but not many people have gone further than that (that I could find). The problem is this car is very rare (less than 200 in the UK) so theres not many off the shelf tuning options available.

 

[Scrooge]

I reckon with a map, decent intake and exhaust (probably like most diesels, knocking the back box and/or centre pipe off) would make these fairly exciting!

 

[imprezaworks]

Very nice Marc. Was that on here?

 

[PP200t]

very nice. love these, no-one would know it was a diesel from looking at it.

 

[Impuzzable]

very nice!

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Good choice mate

 

[MarcB]

Thanks for all the comments.

Cant wait to get it down the road and give it a good run.

Already bought some small things for it but the main job is front discs & pads and rear discs and pads.

If i can I'm going for the "Cup" drilled discs over the standard ones.

EDIT: just noticed the top picture, that's the same drive way lol same boy I bought it from

Yeah he said he had a Trophy and now wish he had kept it.

@Beef-Mc has now gone VAG Turbo

 

[Darren61]

Love this.

Just dislike the R26 decals...

 

[Cookson]

How much you looking at for the trophy

As I'm not selling it buddy I'm going to be really silly and ask for £17k :tongueout:

That's what your escort will be worth before much longer !

LOL. I dunno why I typed trophy when I meant Monaco. Just seen it in the sale section

 

[Paul.M]

Awesome, I really like these.

I think I'll be needing a decent daily later in the year and these tick all the boxes

 

[MarcB]

I will listen to serious offers and no silly ones at £800 /1000

 

[Jamie86]

I love mine except for dmf goes pretty quickly on them, with just a mild map was slipping the clutch that only had 50k on it. Other than that it's great 50mpg all day long and is pretty quick across country

 

[daydotz]

Very smart I do like the 175

 

[rctempire]

Was this @Beef-Mc car?
