  1. Anyone want to chip in? I'm 849,999 dollars short of the base model http://www.terrawind.com/terrawind.htm
  2. this is all good stuff thanks for the info in regards to my prvious comment about leather "wear" - how shiny should the steering wheel be? upto 100k? How's everyone elses STD wheel/helm/tiller looking? My car has mats - so the carpet check is out of the question
  3. LOL Thanks for that Chris/monkey chin
  4. it was HPI'd by the guy I got it from *groan* no history so you might be laughing already but the car is solid - and the leather is only a wee bit worn - no death cracks/tears etc - and the bolster on the OS is very good - steering wheel a little shiny - but it is approaching 95k Hmmm - you can get it done "professionally" well that's a worry engine has been rebuilt - so I'm happy with her it's just it's the clocks you stare at everyday . . . . .
  5. carful with them "ew" comments . . . .
  6. How easy is it to do this? Obviously on the older analogue clocks - fairly easy and with a screwdriver and a bit of patience. But the later cars - the ones with digi clocks - is this possible? Is this easy? REASON WHY I ASK - *not dodgy* I bought my C recently - and it had a lowish sub 100k mileage. And the dash has been obviously "tampered" with - damaged plastic over the "clocks" - dodgy gap alignment around the bezel. excuse from vendor "I have recently changed the heater matrix" so that's a fair reason. . . . . Isn't it? I have heard that these clocks can be tampered with - BUT how easy? Am I just being paranoid? any info welcome?
  7. it's all about the torque those puppies twist with. quick? yes fun to drive? well it's different to N/A petrol that's for sure. horses for courses and my C looks purtier than a BM 5/3 series
  8. I drive thru Finchampstead most Mondays and Wednesdays - in a blue VR
  9. "you can't give booze to a badger!" *apologies to Vic & Bob*
  10. There was an article in CAR magazine alikening the VAG gape to E Munsch's "the scream" It also pointed out that the poster for the film "Home Alone" was also a pistache of the same "students fave" painting. Made me laugh - as I had never noticed that
  11. so many car manufacturers are getting the "nose" wrong at the mo worst offenders being VAG group but I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
  12. I like the way geezer lopes out of the car and casually brushes himself down. "I'll park that there then"
  13. I have a 3l and mine still peaks at 4k
  14. funny I just read that as " . . it went missing while we were on one of our 9 fights during our holiday" swt
  15. u cheeky ferkers! I go out of my way to scoop some pictures and what thanks do I get? And does anyone peep the Golf shots - no You all letch at the Corrados. fickle bunch swt
  16. FurkiG60 Your car gets the sign of approval from my gf - how did you get your interiors shiney? Has it been retrimmed/restored. Or are you some jammy get - and the leather is as you got it? Mine needs some attention from some saddle soap. Beige is the way fwd
  17. you could say that about any "mass produced" sporting car from the 80/90's to be honest when did you last see a sweet std XR4?
  18. fords are two a penny and that is another deciding factor
