Are they a bit Hai-Karate now?
Oh I've had many men crank on my winches and tug on my sheets
I bet you have pooped on a few decks too.
What happens if you don't reverse park?
My new car for a week while evoque gets a new mirror. 1.0 power

How does it take a week to get a new mirror?
Parking is oil industry standard for quick evacuations. Supposed to be safer in dark too.
Mirror also dented the door, I’m assuming it’s a week if they need to paint. Anyway won’t drive it much, seems decent enough but the engine feels a bit weak and is missing a cylinder.

New turd.
Can confirm it does mad skids, donuts, and other antisocial things.
Paintwork is poor (faded, lacquer peel, etc) but it is on 69K miles (111K KM), the engine is as sweet as a nut, and there is no rot at all anywhere. Rear arches are mint, so are the sills, not a scrap. Never been welded either. Has an LSD (should be viscous but feels like a Torsen so may have been changed at some point), some kind of coilovers, Mohair roof in excellent condition, almost everything works...
Current list of stuff to fix:
- Replace heater motor fuse
- Fit drivers door mirror glass (my fault it needs that...)
- Fit new door lock return springy things and generally poke about in the doors (doors are hard work to lock/unlock)
- Roll rear arches so I can fit my wheels on the back too (also need to adjust the camber bolts)
£500. Gonna have some fun!

Never understood why people buy a car known for handling then slam it and stick on stupid wheels... not saying that's what he's going to do but far too many people do.

More pics tomorrow after I've fettled with it.
Two casualties so far. A mirror fell off, never to be seen again. Got a spare one from my old one thankfully. And the cowling from the clocks is in the glove box in a million pieces... I err, yeah don't ask.
Has a very retro 90's head unit with a graphic eq and many buttons, it's very cool.
It's already on coilovers and they ride very comfy, not going to lower it more. Wheels have NS2R's on them. (the wheels which are a set of 4 all like the fronts) were not included.
