Thats great. How long was it sitting for? Any related issues?

I wont ask how much it was but I suspect it was a good price!

It's barely moved for three years. I paid £4800 I think. It wasn't standard either, 250 ish bhp. Neck and neck with my mates Evo X SST.

My partners new Kia Sportage arrived today

I overheard someone in an airport describe one of those as a 'Chelsea Tractor'.

I lolled for like a week.

Looks epic. I'm jelly

 

[Begbie]

Whats with that tow bar? I see them on loads of Hondas. Do they even serve a purpose?


Also - bargain looks great

I used to hear 'poor man's Range Rover' about the previous version!

Yup, it's all a girl needs - a white high riding car with folding mirrors

Standard mimms knob head modification. I'll get around to removing it.

JDM STYLEEE YO.

I think he means the bolster is knackered

Not quite knackered but not exactly in line with the condition of the rest of the car. Certainly fixable should anyone be so inclined to do so, however it's never bothered me

Looking nice. Stephen James give you a half decent offer in the end ?

Sadly not, just in line with WBAC, plus they also said they wouldn't take it as they "have too many" apparently. Tbh I wasn't going in with high hopes, it's not their target product, so I'm not too surprised.

 

[[TW]Fox]

How is it not their target product, they have plenty of stock that age. I called about a car there that was the same age as yours?

 

[badgeruk]

Guessing its not a white diesel which seems to make up 99% of their stock with the other 1% being white M cars of some sort.

Think mine and Vox's are the only red cars I’ve ever seen there.

Didn't mean it horribly...that's what I thought you meant

As Stephen said, 99% of their cars are diesel rep mobiles, the other 1% are new/nearly new M cars from the current generation. If I were to buy a car from them then no doubt they would be willing to do a part exchange, but it's not enough of what they wan't to make a straight cash purchase worth their while.

Didn't mean it horribly...that's what I thought you meant

Of course, no offence taken

 

[Jasebta]

Just picked up after a fix on the bumper, and added the rare mazda airdam

 

[Joe T]

Smiley car is smiley!

Nice S3, El.

DC5 is smart too. I thought stock power was close to 250bhp?

I think they're 218 stock, same engine as EP3 but different intake & exhaust manifold. Not sure if internals are any different but that's the main things.


That DC5 has come up well for the money Chris! Very jealous. Hope to see some track pics soon.

 

[Akagi]

Ahh nice. I thought they had a 1.8 but that must have been the earlier ones.

 

[HoneyBadger]

I quite like the Sportage. Both old and new shape. Think our next car will be a KX-4. I just looked up your partners car to see what variant it was but it's coming back as a Hyundai Tucson. Is that a private plate and it just hasn't updated yet? I checked on auto trader and ECP.
