New French Masterpiece

[leeds_182]

Yeah baby!

More pics to follow but just picked her up.

 

[Tunst]

nearly bought one of these couple days ago. He only wanted £1000 iirc. 55k Miles, black, recent refurbished rear axle and gbox.. Should have bought it tbh

 

[Alan]

Love it mate!

Always had a soft spot for VTS/GTI' after learning to drive in my Mum's 106 QS, shame the driving position is a bit w**k tho.

 

[MonacoDan]

Looks great! I quite like these but the position of the pedals is awful.

 

[Ray Gin]

I loved mine. Although looking back, it made me drive like a nutter.

Fun cars if the axle has been sorted!

 

[Ray Gin]

Damn it. I'm looking at these again now lol.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Looks great! I quite like these but the position of the pedals is awful.

I had one of these, found the pedals alright.
Have you got legs like Forest Gump ?

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

Looks nice. Prefer the styling of a 106 gti a little more. Although I could never own one as the pedal position is awful

 

[MonacoDan]

I had one of these, found the pedals alright.

Must have lol, my cousin has had 3 and never had a problem with the pedals either but when I get in it I find them far too close together.

 

[Matthew]

I've had four, and I'm six feet tall, size eleven feet.

Never had a problem with the pedals. Alot of 'Internet' talk...

Best of luck with this one Jim. Hope it's better than the 106!!

 

[Daniel]

There is something wrong with you Jim. Something wrong with your brain.

 

[Matthew]

He has a weird fettish for s**t French hatchbacks from the late 90s.

The shitter the better.

 

[Gally]

Was my first thought! You okay Jim?

 

[Lal B3N]

So so chavvy! Yet so cool!

 

[scott.p]

Becoming a rare sight these days, looks like a nice one , I'd pay 1k for it. Enjoy it.

 

[Mr Plums]

Iv never driven one but i would love to.

 

[leeds_182]

It's quite nice to be fair! I only bought it as a donor for the rallye but it seems a shame to break it. The guy who I bought it off spent some serious money on it!

 

[leeds_182]

There is something wrong with you Jim. Something wrong with your brain.

There will be no more of these antics now. The well has officially run dry.

 

[leeds_182]

Check out the gangsta interior. Innit.

 

[Knuckles]

How did you find one?! There never seems to be any vts' for sale!

 

[leeds_182]

Technically its a vtr with a vts engine so not a genuine vts.

 

[Knuckles]

Technically its a vtr with a vts engine so not a genuine vts.

Technicalities, still, I've not seen any 16v ones, or any modded 8v ones for ages

 

[_Tom]

I take this is to break for the rallye?

[leeds_182]

[imprezaworks]

Looking good

 

[182Trophy]

Bet it goes well that. They are only 900kg iirc?

 

[leeds_182]

After a wash;

 

[BGEarles]

Looks nice and clean this, only problem i had with mine was the pedals were to close together

 

[cat171]

Does it have a fake CF roof?

 

[leeds_182]

Does it have a fake CF roof?

Its not carbon fibre look, just black - with a sunroof!

 

[Adamm.]

Cool, that engine will sit nicely in the S1. Always had a thing for a 16v S1.
