We all need to clean our pipes once in a while!

My brother in law got one of those as his first car recently, they are a grand little thing to be fair. Well wear.

Unfortunately the straight pipers are more common and take someone driving an actual R/GTI as a slap to the face and a personal insult.
Each to their own though



Cheers pal. The sound of the V6 is the number 1 reason I bought a Mk5, that and I'm a big fan of hot VWs and owing a Mk5 GTI before the R

Fella in work at a site I'm rarely at has one. Heard him pull away today really gently and it is definitely one of the best sounding engines out there.

Speaking of Fiestas I parked beside an ST earlier, probably an ST-line tbf. Brake discs all round, but what surprised me was the size of the rear discs - maybe 2 inches high max! 😱

I think the mk7 ST was the first fiesta to have all round discs. Mine has tiny discs on the back alright, scrubs speed at a serious rate though I'm fairness. The fronts must be working overtime

^I love that e46 coupe, so original. Looks the business with amber corners too. What engine is in it? Too lazy to cartell.

Your rears only do about 40% of the braking effort in any case. They don't need to be huge esp on a car as small as a Fiesta

The rear brake discs on a 100ps 1.0 are the same as on a 200ps 1.6

To be fair I’m sure they’re more than up to the job.

Had one over the summer myself. Very nice to drive

Apologies for the blatant narcissism, but I gave the old girl a wash and polish over the weekend (leaf in splitter was an optional extra!)

The best time to drive the car is at night, the cabin and the Burmeister sound system combine to create the best nightclub on 4 wheels!!

Thoroughly enjoying every minute driving the E.

Sublime.

Ah no... No apologies required D. You narcissistic prick. No, really, that's a bloody beaut of a car you have there. And I have never been much of a Merc man, but bloody hell, that's niiiice. Love the wheels. The dash is brilliant. *concours points removed for the leaf*

So im selling my 07 Avensis and left it in with Polishing Technologies Ireland across from work for abit of a spruce up and i think they went abit overboard :P

Looks like the day it rolled off the assembly line. Fair play to them. I had a 2003 one in that colour and it looked fab after a clean but it is a high maintenance colour.

Slightly different shade on the 07, but they’re both a hoor to keep clean, they look great shined up though!

i had an 03 avensis as well in the see it everywhere silver colour. same thing for me when flogging it, was amazed how well it spruced up. hats off to toyota, the paint work was obviously pretty okay on them

bear1

Is it me or has that avensis aged Well?

colm_mcm

Yep. There’s nothing wrong with them, the fact that so many of them sold mean there are lots out there, and as some are 15 years old, there’s a good few shabby ones.

bear1

I'd agree, I think the hatchback is the better looking for them and in the t spec it's a nice place to be.
Comparing the one out now the newest one is a horrible looking yoke.

Couple of leaves make for a good photo :pac:



Still waiting on insurance to decide who's at fault or if it'll be a 50/50 but either way, the car will probably be getting a full respray once it's sorted, too many other niggly little bits annoying me to just do the repair needed after the accident!

Pretty sure I saw you on the main street in Cork on Sunday morning about 1130am. If it was you, some noise off her!
