Been a long time since I've seen it looking like this. Sorry about the poxy iphone pics, but it's raining now!!
Still have to remove the plate/LEDs/open fogs/Anni badge/carbon badge but she's pretty much ready to go. The polisher has been over every square inch of the car, I've not seen new ones as clean!!
I'd also forgotten just how nice they are to drive in standard form, obviously the running gear has only done about 10k so its as tight as a drum, but it really is fantastic. No wonder they won so many awards for best hot hatch.
Great car, I've really enjoyed owning it.

So what's next Mike??

yeah get on the mk6 forum you :P
-
You all lot say it's just a Mk5.5 anyway :booty: :booty:
-
Ha ha.
I haven't found anything yet, so I'm just going to (carefully) run around in standard trim until I see exactly what I want, no real rush as it doesn't owe me anything and I've enough saved to buy the new one and sell this afterwards.
Unless I get an offer, then I suppose I'll just make do with the Volvo to slush about in.
It'll be Germanic and 6 potted though, don't you worry!!
-
Mike, are you interested in swapping your oil cap for a standard one plus some cash?
-
good on you Mike i have been playing in c4s today :grin: it was tip box but i loved it :rolleye:

I'm not selling anything yet, need to work through all the "first dibs" and then I'll just list everything I have left. I'll let you know chap :happy2:
-

Well, you know the tips are always looked after, as they're all driven by WAGs and hairdressers :wink:
Great choice for a all rounder though, grip and ease.
-
Very nice & the rear lights look great. :happy2:
-
yeah but its had a brand new engine fitted at a cost of over 10k :surprised: all at Porsche
-
Warranty FTW!
The tip in 99% of real world driving is great, I wouldn't rule it out.

Sad to see you leaving the Golf Mike.
Mat - You know the S in C4S stands for slow :booty:

The c4s really isn't that impressive! If I were buying it'd be a c2 manual! :drool:

So am I, I've been playing with lots of ideas for a while now to try keeping it and have A.N.Other - but I really want RWD and I can't justify having 2 nice cars.

Lookers.co.uk
Rent a Clio 200 Cup for £199/month - brush what's left of it back through the doors in 2 years time. Has been looked at, but I'm not 100% sure yet.
-
You know you're going to fall for the 135i Mike.. :party: Resistance is futile :wink:
Oh and if the first dibs haven't already gone on the open grills? :wink:
-
Think they may have a dibs - I can't remember everything at the moment, there's so much to go through!!
There's a 1M coming, you know?....
-
a 1M would be awesome. i suppose they couldnt call it the M1.

Yeah, been keeping my ears to the ground regarding that. Should be a bit of a bruiser. Question is though, M1 (1M) or RS3??? :scared:
-
I can't seem to feel the love for an RS3, it'll be epic though I'm sure.
Word seems to be either a forced version of the 4 from the 320si touring car and no weight, or a real brute of a 335i and LSD. The latter strikes me as being too close to M3 potential, which they'll surely seek to avoid?
I think I'd prefer the 4, strangely.
-
German and 6 cylinders eh?

Ha ha, you been raiding Robin's new stash of smileys?
No way would I spend that money on F/I!! Just buy a GT2 instead.

About the best looking 135i i've ever seen (those seats :drool: ).. :drool: :drool: :drool: Can't imagine it would of been cheap though. :scared:
-
^^^^
Beautiful Beemer, Ben :drool: - Very tastefully done.
@ Mike:
Porky the only way for you to go.. I can see how one will tick all your boxes and there's a lot to choose from so worth taking your time. You'll know when you see her! [am I talking about cars or women?]
-
That BMW is super nice, that's had a lot of money thrown at it!!
Pork is still the plan, but the 135i is still twinkling in the distance as there's something very funny about them.
I'll have a tentative for sale sign on the Golf at Inters, just in case anyone is particularly taken with it (and why not, it is a great car) and I'll just take my time from there.

There was one just like that @ Le Mans on the campsite but it had the grey stripe down the side. Looked the shiz! :happy2:

I looked at the 1 series Coupe. Not struck on the interior, and they look saggy and broken in the middle....... but the engine.... :drool: :drool: :drool:

The steering wheel with the shift lights and gear display is soooo nice! Some lovely shots taken of his car, its an amazing car to drive, but I just can't get over the dodgy looks!
