Heh, his and hers now, but I will admit to liking driving the Beetle for quite some time.


Audi cost £6250 as it has some parts that need replacing (Airbag sensor, ABS ECU and manifold heatshield causing rattle). On top of that, VRT of EUR3300 is owed, plus tax of EUR999 I believe. 89k Miles, which on a 1998 is below average.. UK motorway miles too (put at least 200 on the clock on the way back!). Car is visually in fantastic condition, scarily good infact.

XS Direct doing insurance on both cars (get a 20% discount if you have two cars insured with them). This is the Insurance I recommended to you in another thread, high excess (4k for men, 2k for women), low quote.


The S4 is oddly getting more attention than I thought it would, lotsa strangers walking up and asking questions, staring etc. Gonna get some drop down bollards in the driveway methinks!

Audi has always been my favourite German, but the Bug is a nice looking car too.

My cousin has one and has the hippy roots well plastered on the outside in the form of massive daisy transfers

Was the V5 an import too

Yep, didnt see a single one here at the start of the year when we imported from the UK (or ever). Apart from being a somewhat rare V5, its also a special edition "Colour Concept", with blue leather interior throughout. We also fitted the Sport Body kit (very different front and rear).

Heres some more bug pics (have more since we have the car longer!):

Now, if the gov see fit to change the tax system to the sensible UK model

Or even one step better: all motortax paid by the polluter: increase the excise duty on fuel and scrap motortax altogether

My new Baby:cool:
'04 Focus TDCI Sport, 26K miles in Imperial RS Blue. Replacing a 1.9d Pug 306.


Had a '04 Alfa 147 JTD bought but the fecker went and sold it to someone else. Not a bad compromise though!!:D

Kersh

Finally - here it is, i got one... its a fibreglass bodied, dry sump, carburettor 308 GTB. Full history +all invoices. Not a mark, inside or out.
Sorry about the picture quality/location. Its in storage at the minute.

Paul (MN)

Im just about to spend 2 months detailing - claybar, then lots of waxing with Zymol. . Once the race season gets out of the way.

Fair play Kersh, looks great (better than a Testarossa, no matter how big the bedroom poster was on my wall when I was 12!)

Jason_G_KE30

No bugs on you fletch!! Haven't been able to better the photos (or get it as clean since) Next summer maybe...

junkyard

Nice motor Kersh, you'll have to grow a moustache and buy a flowery shirt to go with it.:D Wasn't there another Ferrari like yours for sale in Dublin recently?

unkel

Victory at last! Nice one, Kersh :cool:

Must have been a life long dream come true. Very best of luck with it

Is it this one or did you go the UK route?

Paul (MN)

are you getting a black helicopter?

Kersh

I went and got my own. Paid way less than what that one is going for . And mine only has 48000 miles.
Plus I have every invoice and mot, even tax discs!!
Yes, it is a lifelong dream. Love it to bits :cool:
