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 :(

My dad had an octavia tdi as soon as they came out and it never let him down. He's currently got a signum but he's looking for a small car to use as a backup and I'm trying to point him at a fabia vrs :) if he does go for it I'll sell my mini and steal the vrs 8)

Ta for that will do :)

Since the official 3.6 isnt out yet how about overbore an r32? Anyone done this yet? May be reliability probs with it so forgive my ignorance :wink:

Hi, I'm looking for a bodyshop somewhere in the south east to roll my arches cheaply (relative) and competently since my local is quoting 400 an arch :shock: so I politely turned it down But now I'm on the lookout for another place to get it done..I'm just outside eastbourne in east sussex but would be interested in anywhere in the south incl London. Need em for some tasty 16x8s (rear) with an et of 15 :( atm they stick out about 2 inches at the rears..fronts are just about legal. Cheers for any help you can give.

I'm there most mornings and then again about lunchtime (twice a day gym :) ). Matt I used to work in Crimewater too, was working the door at the friday street inn though hardly ever ever drove the raddo there...hate parking it outside when I'm working...last serious fight ( in Bexhill) I had to break up happened right on top of my bonnet :( If the police hadnt turned up so soon someone would of been in trouble.

Hey I broke up with her very gently..she hugged me for 10 minutes afterwards... My friends couldnt believe it.

I have an auto too never given me any problems but the last owner had spent 2k on it :shock: and it'd only done 4k miles before I bought it..still looking to change to a manual in the very near future. As for the MPG I regularly see 28, best ever was 36...not really sure how it did that though

Yet another lady raddo owner?? :luvlove: Welcome aboard

How come no-one ever sees my Raddo down by the marina??!! I'm always there ffs, btw is anyone going to the EFBB show down at plymouth? And does anyone on here use Fitness first in eastbourne?? Oh and is the Raddo that lives in Willingdon Park Drive on here? Saw a moving van outside your house the other day, does this mean you're leaving us?

Hmm...one of my ex's is coming into some money soon, maybe its time to give it another shot.. :norty:
