Holy crap, I'm a decade older than you That's very demotivating.

 

Shall we take this to the demote thread
I will.

 

Watch out for the DMF, my friends 2003 mondy killed its DMF, clutch and slave cylinder last month, it had been dying for about 5 months, until it pissed hydraulic fluids all over a junction when the seals finally died on the slave. Only 130K on the clock aswell, the garage we used do transits and connects everyweek, seems the early DMF's get problematic after 110K.

The only two things i hate about that shape mondeo is the weight, (fat girl) and the A pillar is a massive blind spot.

 

Not noticed this thread before, heres a pic of both my Cars, Golf GTI PD150 Diesel for everyday use and my 440bhp (550 coming 2012) stripped out track toy Evo, build thread is in my signature if your interested

Apologies for the crappy phone pic, washed them both a few days ago and is was really grey and muggy outside...

 

*sigh* ... Why can't I have a toy like that



/cries

 

I don't think I've posted this one here yet, ina ll fairenessit's not as smart, as fast or as expensive as some of the cars here, but what it is reliable, cheap to run (£50 worth of fuel goes for 3 weeks) Comfortable to drive.

 

I used to think that. Then one day not very long ago I got sick of that attitude, and vowed to build myself one

 

meh, I'm too poor to just change attitude and buy an NSX. I need to actually be an engineer before I can afford anything

 

That day will come. Keep the faith

I don't own anything yet either, but I'm close!

 

2001 VW Polo 1.0 litre. Low and slow as its my first car but really good on fuel.

 

looks like you have some serious camber issues on the wheels there ry@n, does look nice though, do miss my modded ford ka that i used to own

 

Tell us about it? Got any pictures?

 

Bye bye STI.....



...hello GTi!



6 months old, 3500 miles on the clock and £4000 off the list price. Reasonable performance and 47mpg according to VW. I pick up the wee puddle jumper on Friday.

 

yeah man, got loads, wont put them all on as i will be here all day


how low?


the original dash was white and had no rev counter, got this from a sport ka and put it in







got bored of standard clock, so i took it apart







used to havre a picture with 3 fingers between the bumoer and my parents drive but cant find that one

rear light clusters with green reverse light

 

I must admit Rude, I expected to see a BMW diesel instead. While I like the Mk.6, it just doesn't float my boat somehow.

 

It wasn't my first choice as I quite fancied a delivery mileage Abarth but it will primarily be the wife's car and she had the deciding vote. We have a very good VAG independent we use regularly which also helped swing it as the dealership chain with the Fiat franchise in my neck of the woods are infamous for being useless and complete ****s.

The puddle jumper is the 2nd car as the old MK4 GT TDI Golf is still delivering 60mpg for the daily commute. Once we get the house sale and move completed it will be replaced with something newer.

 

Thanks The wheels would be illegal without the camber, it looks extreme but isn't affecting tyre wear and handles fine.

 

not quite my cup of tea,

I'd do:
Smaller wheels and colour coded bumpers.
More subtle exhaust and remove bonnet vent.
de-tango front lights.

 

I've always thought the Ka looks a bit like a scrotum.
