Had a little photo session earlier

 

[Andy1.2]

Very nice! Nice to see an unmolested vts as well!

 

[Alastair.]

jesus a standard saxo, doesnt even have the halfords lexus lights, im staggerd!

5 looks sweet

 

[al]

VTS is standard except for GTI half leather seats and GTi6 brakes.

She's going to the next Yorkshire meet

 

[Addz]

i saw 3 cool hot hatches in the first picture sorry.. had to lol

loving them two, so nice seeing a vts and a R5 in mint condition!

 

[al]

Mini's a bit heavy tho lol

 

[Alastair.]

all the lil saxo needs is droping slightly, leave the wheels, maybe a suttle backbox to?

It'd spoil the handling too much and she's loud enough standard

 

[SOHROB]

some peugeot sport dampers and gravel springs will do the trick, will lower it a touch and improve the handling no end.

Seconded 30 odd mil drop will only improve things.

 

[Sarah]

lowering will improve the handling id say not wreck it, strut brace will hold it together well tooo

2 lovely hot hatches there

the 5 looks well mint

 

[AlexS]

I see you've got a nice plate on the VTS now too, looking very tidy. Please don't tell me you've bought the R5 aswell though!

 

[al]

Will look into the Peugeot Sport stuff, handling is pretty mint at the moment though.

Saying that tho our Laguna is down on it's ass (must be at least 60mm) and the handling is awesome

R5 is a mates not ours! lol

 

[Aluco]

I actually love that VTS


A CITROEN :O

 

[SOHROB]

i remember my old vts,supersprint mani and exhaust,decat,peugeotsport coilovers,295mm alcon 4 pots,procomp induction kit.

Was an awesome car and handled very well,will buy another when i have the storage space

 

[Mark One]

Now i'm sorry. When you stick a 5, a real gt turbo 5 next to a saxo.....the saxo cannot be described as cool.
It's just like; If i have a mate (just one, lol), who I think is quite cool. If i stood him next to jimi Hendrix, He's not cool anymore, just a starstruck idiot.

 

[Chris n nic]

That 5 reminds me of my old one...h reg, white and mint! Love it

Chris

 

[Fletcher]

Lovin the 5 :approve:

 

[dutty_112]

R5 FTW! looks pristine!

 

[Alan]

Two fine examples mate, love your sax..

 

[RichRSi]

Both great examples.

I love the 5, I'd still be interested in getting myself one of these if I could find one that was in this sort of nick (not messed about with). I tried for 6 months to find one before I bought my current car and had no luck.

 

[Lagerlout]

You hang out in the old Sainsbury's car park in Burton. Oh dear.

 

[Timmay]

vts! chav chariot!


only joking al - very nice indeed

 

[Leeshez]

Nice.

I was the same m8...but I was lucky enough to find one.

215,000miles on the clock but was original as they come...old guy had it before and when I took it out it was a bit of a slug as he pretty much drove it like an old man for 10 years!

Miss it sooo much

 

[gaz44]

Glad the Mini only made 1 photo!

 

[Spark]

That 5 is a clean example, loving it.

 

[Ian_182]

Very nice 5 and a late one too

 

[MikeyK18]

A CITROEN :O

[GM_182]

I still think the R5 looks fantastic

Don't start me off, I miss my GT Turbo too Mine was white H plate mint FSH with about 68k on it when I bought it. I lowered it put 15's on, lowered it, white repeater, fog and indicator lenses, a scorpion exhaust, pipercross filter, dumpvalve, uprated carb and strapped the intercooler. Sold it but really wish I'd found the cash to keep it when I bought the 172 there really wasn't a mark on it inside or out.

That one looks like a cracker, the old guy must have really looked after it.

I went on holiday to barmouth years ago and in one of the holiday camping sites an older chap had his Raider, in mint condition, parked next to his caravan. I remeber looking at it and thinking how nice it was to see one that had not been butcherd.
The good ones can go for over £3k now, I would certainly consider swapping my mk2 RSi for a decent, standard spec 5 turbo.

 

[Chris n nic]

Exactly the same here m8. Mine actually popped as I was young and foolish (ie bleed valve and a twitchy hand lol). Got it back and had the head skimmed etc. When I got it back it was quicker than ever and boosted up really well but had the chance to get a brand new Cup on Friends and family so couldn't pass it up.

5 GT Turbo on forza ftw!

 

[DebV6]

Cool pics, love the vts

Hang on!! did you say forza has a 5 GT Turbo, I never knew this!!! (runs out and buys an XB 360)

 

[Chris n nic]

Sorry m8....I meant that they should have it...although they do have the rear engine beast on it

Chris

 

[Ali]

5 looks in good shape!

Mine was good as gold never needed anything over and above servicing, brakes and a couple of minor wear and tear items you'd expect at that age/mileage. I wasn't tempted by a bleed valve as they're bad news IMO. Mine got to the point where I was about to sink a fortune into it with a cage, buckets and a big engine build so I decided to part with it and get the 172 new and enjoy the comforts of a newer car with more toys.

Funnily enough I suggested an phase 2 R5 GT Turbo and 205Gti on a Forza forum where they are running a thread full of requests for car suggestions for FM3 for turn 10 to consider. T16's and Turbo 2's are all well and good but I'd love to see the cars many of us owned and loved in the games too. The amount of american pig iron we have to suffer in games it's only fair 2 legendary hot hatches get included!
