Cars

Just went to get a puncture repaired and the boss of the place had this mash up in there doing some work on it:

Widearch cars with tyres that stick out a bit look just as ridiculous as skateboards with wider trucks than board!

An epic car, well done for both owning and getting out of it suitably!

I had one of them, not this one but basically exactly like it. Was actually my brother’s but I just took it off him :laughing:

No way. I had a white e reg polo. I put the cheapest cd player from halfords in it and never got around to fitting the speakers in the parcel shelf. Sk they were just loose in the footwell on the passenger side. Still worked fine.

Reminds me of my first whip. Mk1 Fiesta made in the same year I was born. Paid £100 for it the added all the kit to make it look like a XR2. Never managed to get my license when I had it so would only drive it when my old man was with me. Even had a cd player. Wish I still had that car.

Poor car was enjoying it’s retirement when I got it, 76,000 km and only about 1500 a year since 2010, I’ve put 50k on it in 2 years as my daily driver but it’s not skipped a beat.

I love mk1s I had one for a bit. My friend had one so that inspired me to get one. If I had the space and money I’d love another. One is the brown/gold one and his with my mini.

That’s so good. Any more pics of it?

Somewhere, not to hand unfortunately

But I have a pic of another MK2 I had with a later 2.0 16v abf conversion

Plus a bonus MK1 my mate owned

The two tone brown and gold is ill.

What I really wanted at that time (and still do) was a 205 GTI though.

Missing this so much after all this dope VWs. Might take a fucking bank loan out and get one again.

In my early 20s I was working as a bin man and there was an abandoned 205 GTI on my round. After a couple of months I asked the bosses at the council if I could take it. They said no, and ended up scrapping it. Early lesson on the pointless bureaucracy of local authorities.
