Well, heres my answer to helping the enviroment,
my new the wife's new i10 Active has arrived today, will be collecting nxt wednesday at 11am.
Its the 1.2 VVT engine which boasts a heart stopping 85bhp :scared:
Great little car, and perfect for its objective in life for the school runs and town commutes.
The Eddy gets a well earned rest after 3 years of continous running around.
Do excuse the photo's , not the best :ashamed:
She cost £7136 in total. Free road Tax for the 1st year, 2nd year and on £20 a year. Projected 62mpg, but not expecting that around the town crawl.
Insurance fully comp is buttons. Looking foward to p!iss taking so, lets be having it :laugh:

Cant wait for the new sig pic with the Eddie and the i10. :laugh:
How long can you resist the modding urges this time. :popcornsoda:
-
Are you going to take the plastic off the seats? :laugh:
-
Cost alot of money those seat covers ian, i thought VW ones were costly enough..
-
Might wanna be careful with the kids. Your son looks like he can reach the pedals! :driver:
-
Black wheels and roof FTMFW! :grin:
-
i cant fault you mate, i need a new familly car, and to be honest i think the small engine petrol is the way forward :happy2: does look shocking though :signLOL:

Its not quite as wide, but has the same space leg and headroom in the rear as the golf surprisingly..
Black wheels and roof FTMFW! :grin:
The Tat has already started Nath, fluffy dice and Nodding dog already ordered :wink:
Wife does like the look of Black 16" TD's :signLOL:
-
Didn't take long to put together, only seems a few weeks since you ordered it.
-
4 weeks from order. Collect next weds because of the up n coming bank holiday. So 5 weeks in all for the Bostik to set isnt bad :laugh:
-
I noticed the other day... It's not Nissan micras I'm stuck behind these days... It's bloody i20s! Haha!
Glad your happy with it mate. It sounds like it's perfect for it's purpose ;)
-
Your kids make it look the size of a normal car Steve!
How come you didnt go for red then :laugh:
-
I wanted Red, but the wife knows best :wink:
-
My brother has a 10 plate one of these and for the money they're not bad at all, well equipped, cheap and you have the 5 year warranty. If you bought mats they're crap, his were threadbare after 3000 miles!
-
All you need now is a blue car to be fully Royal Wedding compliant :laugh:
Now who do we know who's just got a silver blue Porsche? :signLOL:
Are you going to be the first person to do an ED30 engine transplant into the i10? :grin:

Looking forward to seeing this on the strip at Inters :laugh:

Its the 1.2 VVT engine which boasts a heart stopping 85bhp :scared:
Is that on JKM's rollers though Steve? :laugh:
-

Having shelled out £1.42 for a litre of momentum today I think you've made the right call, see you on the rollers when the TA arrives
