You know when I read the title of this I thought how rude! I keep trying to drag my mind out of the gutter but my body just keeps going back for more.

Well my auto is now definetly up for sale :wink: need the cash for my mk2 and maybe to add towards a cupra r fund 8) also have a mint 1275 mini for sale (47k) if anyones on the lookout. Will be posting pics soon :)

Or it could be the HUGE bodykit its wearing :wink:

A mate at the gym has just bought a K plate 2.2 Prelude dynoed at 270 bhp at the flywheel and it still doesnt feel that fast! 0-60 comes up in 6.5 which seems a bit odd when its putting down that sort of power - oh and I've also heard the horror stories about the 4WS...tried to put him off it but it didnt work..still he goes through cars really quickly so he probably wont have it long enough to break it!

Mine might be going the same way...need cash to finance a turbo kit for the mk2.

I know everyone always says this but so far I havent found it to be true. My auto vr is suprisingly cheap on petrol and I still get upwards of 36mpg on longish runs (40mins plus) and I dont find it drops too badly round town. Its actually pretty similar to my 2l 16v Mk2 - although I do tend to rev that a bit more :oops: If you find a nice auto you'll get a lot of enjoyment from it - just try and get one with a decent gearbox as there pretty pricey to fix - Mines got less than 12k on it now but it cost the previous owner 2k :wink:

Anyone else spot the *shudder* xr3 engined 'Porsche' :pukeleft:

Isnt that just the installation price?

Hmm well I had a family of mice living in an old clio that had been left standing for about 3 months...Untill I tried to turn it over then they were just a mess.. :( And recently I had 3 spider nests hatch simultaneously inside my mini which was suprising. Poor guy in the car with me is scared to death of even tiny spiders so when about 30 of them fell on him he screamed and started slapping himself with a shoe :) really wish I'd had time to video it. So far the corrado is animal free so is the mk2 ;) but I'm sure that'll change soon. Oh and the other night I walked out of my house to hear a short sharp squeak :( I think his mates have taken revenge cos there now scurrying around in the attic :( Mice I can live with but rats can have a nasty bite..

Same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago :( My engine temp's been dodgy for months and after i bypassed the matrix the engine temp was running the best its ever been :) guess i found the overheating culprit so its not all bad.

I picked my VR6 up for 2700 - K reg with 118k Spent another 3k on her already though :( With big plans and even bigger wallet draining ahead

Saw another corrado at the crumbles, stopped for a chat :) I wasnt driving mine cos the heater matrix had just blown that morning :( so back to the mini for me

The mini is called Elmo...not sure aboutt he raddo yet..waiting for it to choose its own name.

s7orm youre not from east sussex are you?

Is this a road or rally spec? cos the rally spec ones were 450 (later 480 bhp) while the road spec were 250. Were'nt the rally S4's banned from racing cos they kep crashing, somehting to do with having too high a power band? 2 team drivers died in a single year :(
