-
I always wonder when I see people post stuff like that, Tara.
So, is it something you've just said for fun or are you being serious??

the two scenes are like chalk and cheese, never understand why people who like cars would say i hate all french cars? depends what you want? would i prefer a passat over a laguna to ferry my kids about? yeah, would i prefer any german hot hatch over a french one to have fun on a track? no, both are good at what they do.

Its only a bit of banter :signLOL:
-
French car build quality seems to have improved over the years, but from past experience with friends, i'd be happy if i never owned a French car in my life!
Also, from the days of a mate working for GSF, i dont quite comprehend the madness of French Car makers that feel that every car has to have a different part for the same job, there was almost no crossover between models, at the same time we discovered that i think it was wheel bearings for the then brand new and just released Lupo were the same as a 1960's beetle..... German efficiency at work - why make a new one when the old works just as well and the best bit about that was that it made parts cheaper and easier to get
French cars have always been too plastic for my liking
-
well picked it up on Friday and have got to say its a lot of fun :driver: had all 4 wheels off the ground yesterday :signLOL: found an ace road with lots of jumps :driver: :signLOL: and so this is how it looks now :laugh: thought sod it grey wheels look crap so did this to them
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fd122%2Fmat138l%2F01b3e7cb-1-1.jpg&hash=2aa75959c29a4e26e71eccb31475febfb214bc36)

mmm not so sure about the wheel colour Matt but ill be able to see you from a mile off thats for sure.
If i had to choose a "track sl@g" colour it would probably be red.
I think it will look better when stripped with a green cage and some other colour matching.
-
looks good mate. :happy2:
-
All the wheels had bad kerb damage so anything looks better than the mess on the wheels and as it's a fun car to drive I thought y not have the wheel a fun colour
-
Danza approves of this, it is a correct car.
Seems to be carrying a bit too much weight though :popcornsoda:
-
Not as heavy as yours :signLOL:
-
Well, it's a little lighter and a bit more scaffold pipe'd than it was.... :innocent:
-
:signLOL: bet that looks good
-
pics? gonna have to go buy an mk1 172 to join the club here!!! im off to look on pistonheads now :signLOL:
-
It isn't quite finished yet, but I'll stick some up soon.
Get a 172, I was having great fun at Snetts with a mate in his 200 and another that turned up - we've got our own Clutter Cup race series!
Oulton's full, but next one is Donny - so you've plenty of time to get both your cars in order. Circuit Days (http://www.circuit-days.co.uk/event_info.asp?id=352)

they have gone up!!! 2k, would like one, but 3 renaultsport clios seems a bit much, but then i have had 4 vts!!! may get a 106, still, gives you a chance mat :P
-
My mate's S1 106 Rallye is far and away the funniest car I've every had a pax lap in, they really are FTW!
-
yeah i know mate, love the series one fizzy engine, proper screamer, wont move unless its bouncing off limiter :signLOL:
-
i always find myself looking at 106GTIs for some reason
-
how about my mates 10 plate megane sport for 14k. 3k on the clock, bargain!
-
Is that a 250?
-
not for 14k mate, did not know they were doing r26 on 10 plate though.
-
It is a 250 rs has brembos and LSD it's a very nice drive. Started life yellow but resprayed white

thats mad cheap :surprised:
-
I think the clue is in the respray....
-

has it been bumped then ?
-
Stolen recovered, no bump damage that I'm aware of. If anyone can do a hpi I can provide the reg. Car drives and performance like you would expect of a 2010 car
-
not for 14k mate, did not know they were doing r26 on 10 plate though.
They weren't, that's why I asked! The latest R26's were on a 58, as far as I know.
-
Stolen recovered yet needed paint? It'll be a near write off if he's spent money on painting it and can afford to sell if for about £5k less than book. HPI check means nothing if it was never listed in the first place.
-
should have kept the yellow colour
-
Can post some pics later but I think it was the dealer that sprayed it White and put decals on it as a demostator. He never painted it himself
-
that was up for sale few months back, the spray job is shocking!!! (if its the one im thinking of) did not even bother to spray inside doors etc, so you open door and its yellow :signLOL:

:grin:
