So, the scoob is causing me issues again, and having no car drives me mental...
After searching the internet for a whole week for a mint low milage modified Ph1 172 which was NOT silver, I popped t'countryside today and happened upon a completely standard Ph2.
Here's one awful photo taken this evening.
Seemed to fair alright on the way back to glorious Essex apart from a possible small exhaust blow.
~38MPG according to the OBC is much better than the scoob, but no where near the 45 I'd have got in my old ph1 :dapprove:
Coming from a 4wd bus with more torque than the death star, it seems very underpowered and understeery ! :quiet: Nice to be able to go over speedbumps for the first time since 2005 though haha !!
It will take a little getting used to, but it's staying totally standard for a few months at least until I decide if I'm keeping it, swapping for a Ph1, buying something else altogether, or just getting this how I want it ! Oh yes, the list of mods already 99% complete in my head. All my cars come from Somerset... They are also ~40 miles west from the previous one so I should be able to work out with some simple GCSE maths skillz where my next car will be...!
I'm off work Monday waiting for electric company to turn up, so it will get a damn good clean as it definitely needs it now :dead:
Plans if I keep it include Evo Recaros (blue decals!), private plate (guesses on a postcard haha), lowerage, splitter, breathing mods, non-generic remap, wheels, brakes, ARB and ICE.
We'll see what happens...!
