davefly76 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 ..car! Cue boo's, hissing and hides from an irate crowd throwing rotten tomato's and cabbage. To be fair, I haven't owned one for more than two years and I'm fed up of getting soaked 3 times a day on my push bike!So here it is... A 2000 Golf GTi bought for the princely sum of £600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe those Smart cars aren't too bad really. I drove one when they first came out, nippy little buggers around town. The old folks on the bus I overtook must have had bit of a shock to see me passing them in something only slightly bigger than a roller skate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun times Different engines Alex. Mine is the 2.0 version, only 115bhp. Some of them had 1.8 turbo's with up to 180bhp. They did a 150bhp diesel as well Yeah its cheap for the car, most seem to go for around £1500 but I found this one with 192k miles with MOT till August and a months tax I don't really need a car, I can get about without one but at least it gives me another option when its crappy weather. I no longer have to be a bus w**ker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I no longer have to be a bus w**ker Fair enough, his was one of the more powerful ones I believe. I dont think it was a turbo, so must have been a diesel. Still a nice car though. And keeps you dry, and warmer than a bus would! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to nitpick, but the diesel is also a turbo and I won't have to sit next to smelly people, dodge push chairs the size of the starship enterprise or listen to chavs, innit bruv?

The Golf driver probably thought the biker cut him up (even though he was driving across the chevron section) And no, I won't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
