the MOD here in gibraltar auctioned off a load of citroen saxos so they all went for pretty cheap...
the door looks dodgy because it wasn't closed properly i think hah
there are 2 dents either side at the front though :/
and theres some bad rust in the boot
it's only 6 years old which is alright tbh
my m8 bought a 9 year old golf for £4400 the same day, dunno who got the better deal
and theres no numberplate because im re-registering it atm, waiting for a new plate.
was a but dubious posting it because all the other cars here are amazing hah

Were you on a mission to accelerate the rust on your car?!
The Saxo/ 106 1.5D's are pretty damn reliable for what they cost. One of those would be top of the list if I needed a wallet friendly daily driver.

Thats pretty much what put me off going at first, but then im planning on wire brushing and resealing the underbody soon anyway. 15 years worth of rust already there, a day at the beach can't be too bad.
And yes thats a daewoo nexia, my mates pride. He was unable to find any decent mk2 astra GTEs so he built his own. Nexia is the same shell.
I once took my RC car on a beach like that - it took me 2 months to get it working again
. Hope your car fares a little better haha.you're on the rock though. can't be a massive choice of cars over there?

Id speculate that a few hours on the beach is no different than a few weeks of britians gritted roads at winter. Plus the higher speeds on the roads makes the grit more likely to be flicked up by the tyres.
Wahey another Coupe owner I love mine, such good fun. I'm sure I've missed a thread somwhere but what has happened to the 420? Going in for mods or something more terminal? I do definitely think the Coupe has a nicer line to it, always always loved them!
My mate is looking to buy a Coupe Turbo, I'm so jealous, just can't afford to run one at the minute, the bills this one has given me so far are tiny as I've done it all myself.
Haven't posted them in here so why not. My Coupe bought for £650 back in May:
Needs a good machine polish at the minute as the swirls are horrid, just havent got round to doing it. I have washed this car more times in the 4 months I've owned it than I did my Vectra in about 2 years lol. Shows how much more I like this car.

Wahey another Coupe owner
I've not really posted a separate thread up about the plans for the 420, as tbh, I can't be bothered
I did post in the 'Car todo list' thread with a few bits but it's nothing terminal.Still drove absolutely fine until the tax ran out at the end of August. I didn't have any plans to take it off the road, but when the Coupe came up I thought it'd be the perfect opportunity to do a bit of work to it and a general tidy up. 250bhp was nice, but not nice enough
The Coupe is nice. Having the Honda engine (which is probably a similar weight to the K series) makes it fun to drive, very light up front and even without any strut braces or polybushes I'd say it'd give the 420 a run for its money through the corners.
Nice colour on yours. I used to have a nightfire red 214 SEi which looked fantastic when clean.
It's next on my list mate. Saving for a set of HSD coilovers
Advans as in the 3 spokes? If so, this car will be full of win, I keep hearing about how good those HSDs are, from serious drivers too, who have tried a bunch of other coilovers before.
Unfortunately not Super Advans.. I would love a set of those in a gun metal colour. They are Advan AVS VS-5's as seen in the last picture. 17" 9j et35 255 on the rear and 16" 8j et 35 225 on the front.
In that last picture the front's are 17's but i ditched them because they felt too heavy and will use the 16"s. I have the buddy clubs on at the moment as the AVS's are getting refurbed.
Yeh i have heard great things about the HSD's and also Ben at driftworks is a great chap so the aftermarket support is there also and they are only in brum so only down the road!
