Just wondering after looking at some of the older cars in this thread. Do they not have that law on Mainland Uk where you have to display the MOT disc beside the tax disc? Its in force in Northern Ireland, thought it was UK wide.

Got this about 3 weeks ago!

1998 Audi A3

Loooove it!

Gerard · 9 Jul 2010 at 01:53

Looks to be in very good condition, looks much newer than a 12 year old car :eek:

DM · 9 Jul 2010 at 09:40

Very clean looking Audi that.

Yeah, you can thank my Dad for that, he's got into car cleaning in a big way, verging on detailing...

he wanted to give it a good clean when I bought it, which I fully appreciate!

That A3 looks tidy but for some reason it has face lift front lights and pre facelift rear lights

I had another forum open with a for sale so here are my very bad for sale photo's. I think i'll get some new ones taken on a proper camera on my parents property

Only had it since Jan but dont know why I bought it, was trying to be sensible and buy an economical car but now I just want rid to get something more interesting, wish I never sold my Prelude

What it replaced, I miss it soooooooo much i'm such a nob

It sounds like you were qualifying your compliment by adding 'but for some reason'. I don't see the problem, previous owner probably just didn't get round to it or preferred the pre-facelift rears.

There is no problem to see, its a pre facelift car with facelift head lights so its either been in a smash or they have been upgraded or I am wrong, I was simply making an observation :confused:

Money, the Prelude was costing me too much and I made the classic mistake of getting a cheaper to run car that isnt actually that much cheaper to run, that Prelude used to put a smile on my face everytime I drove it, the Civic just makes me miserable, i've begged the guy to sell it me back but he wont

That silver facelift EK is nice, is it a VTI? It has a VTI front lip and wheels, bit too low though

I dont know or care, you only ever seem to look for confrontation, its predictable and very boring also the car it replaced was a Honda stop failing
