finally a face to the name. Somehow I imagined younger, thinner, shorter and more ginger.

Yeah, I was pissing myself laughing too :)

Heh, for about 10 minutes!

You seem to like vauxhalls, fancy buying a Manta next? :)

Not bad

bear in mind the nova was eons ago :) circa 1999 :)

Bloody thing came home on a trailer today :)

bloody french cars

Hmmm. Electrics? Driveshaft? Collapased rear beam?

right first time :)

Electrical musterings of a bodged 1.9 conversion

running again within an hour tho lol

fell in love with her again last night after having a play with a civic VTi :)

score pug 1 jap crap 0

Heh, sounds about right. I think they were bodged from the factory, so probably just trying to keep in with the pug tradition :)

I starting to feel the need to buy a 205 GTi. The Manta is great, but could do with a bit more speed and a bit of bodywork touching up - neither of which I can afford :(

well my 20 yr old 205 complete with badly fitted but sweet 1.9 set me back

150 notes with tax and test :)

tis a bit rough and needing some work but otherwise solid and a genuine top hot-hatch

I'd just be after a standard 1.6 or 1.9, dont mind which. I'm gonna keep my eyes peeled for a local

Buy Doug's BX GTi. It rocks. And it features the classic standard factory single-wiper conversion and Pug's own version of the Kenwood Mask, all built in. Along with some of the comfiest seats you'll ever sit in.

After reading his MoT post? ha, I think not!!

If I was to get a bx, it would need to be a 16v!

Nah, you want the Marea, really ;-)

Pah! You'll be laughing on the other side of your face when it passes and I've got another year of cheap motoring out of it. (c:

It needs to be my 8v BX, and you need to come on an adventure to Glasgow to get it. That's the rules!

(c:

I actually live just outside Cumbernauld.

It's Glasgow as far as someone from ShandyHampton is concerned.

(c:

Most places in Scotland are near Glasgow arent they? Weeny little country.

TBH I'd love to come up to Scotland, would make a good road trip in the mister 2. Dont want a BX to bring home though! Find me a tidy 205 GTi, Rover SD1 v8 or Manta v8/XE for less than £500 and I might think about it!

That's the one thing I don't care about, actually, it's a 'DILLIGAF' look.... especially when it's as fast or faster than most hot hatches.

It's great being able to out drag a chavved Saxo VTS in something that looks like your grandad's car :-)

Most of my cars have that look, but I still like them myself IYSWIM. And I dont like the Marea. Would make an excellent family car in a few years time though!

I'm hoping to be able to use the Volvo for that soon :)
