you have a serious attitude problem, you can't pass up the opportunity to run down another persons pride and joy - Not that it matters what engine or car it is but to dismiss it as a 4 pot skoda is missing the point. It's a 4wd sleeper (a real sleeper not a 5 pot with a mangnaflow exhaust sleeper) with one of the best engines VW have ever made in it.

When you drive an alfa anything but an alfa is the business, when you drive the volvo it's all volvo. You are a young man so we can forgive the fickleness but if you are coming into this thread with bitterness looking for the first opportunity to run down a mans car then you are missing the whole point of this entire forum.

This is exactly why I can't stand this forum and so rarely post on it these days.

I said it's no doubt a nice car. I'm sure it's fast, comfortable and refined. I didn't "run" down his car, in fact I just find the price of it absolutely mad!

That's NOTHING against the poster, that's a comment relating to the PRICE of it. Can you read that?

I know you drive some 4 pot Audi so of course you're king of the road, but if you'd get down off your high horse there, I actually get on well with 90% of people on this forum.

Did you read that word? Yes this is a forum, where people have DIFFERENT opinions.

It no doubt is a sleeper, without question, but it's still €50k and in my "opinion" that is such a huge amount of money.

You're the one with the attitude problem here, Sir.

There's no lock on the gate pal!

A total of 48 users (when posting) seem to agree with tossy. One of these days you're gonna have to ask yourself who the d1ckhead is.

I have a 2012 1.8 tsi here with 60k on it in for a brand new engine thanks to their piston/oil ring fail (thankfully fixed in later models) chain and tensioner were not long for this world either when we dismantled it. Poor owner is facing a 4k plus bill

wotzgoingon · 29-04-2017 12:12AM

Where did they go wrong with chains even some BMW's have stretching chain problems. My e39 has a chain and no problems at all and afaik they were not known to give issues either. Where did BMW go wrong. Using cheaper metal was it?

My engine bay when I bought the car last year:

My engine bay now, with 4-2-1 manifold and ram/cold air intake. Painted the cam covers yesterday. Still needs a bit of tidying up.

When's the first road trip to Poland then?

joujoujou · 29-04-2017 10:45PM

Next year, probably.

Duke O Smiley · 29-04-2017 10:48PM

Is that a spares car for your own behind jou?

joujoujou · 29-04-2017 10:53PM

Yes, it is. Not much left, to be honest.

oknepop · 29-04-2017 11:16PM

Finally got around to claying it! Very little patience left after that, so I ended up dropping it off to get washed and waxed.

29-04-2017 11:26PM

Mitsubishi don't really have many cars on the road these days. Neither do Subaru now that I think of it! Not a bad looking machine jou!

New toy

Pops_20 · 30-04-2017 08:45AM

Reventon93 · 30-04-2017 11:59AM

I'd love one as a track toy! Maybe someday i'l be able to afford one :rolleyes: Looks in absolutely mint condition. Was in a Jap import?

munster87 · 30-04-2017 12:14PM

Is that Gougane Barra pops?

Toyotafanboi · 30-04-2017 12:18PM

And if so, was it you who started the fire the other week?

vintagevrs · 30-04-2017 03:18PM

Few more of the baby BM after it's make over.

Cheensbo · 30-04-2017 03:29PM

Looks unreal sir, you've done stellar work on that car. It's probably my favourite car on here!

It sure is. Great spot for a few photos.

I did no such thing

166man · 30-04-2017 07:17PM

Wow vintagevrs... That E30 looks stunning. Must have been some amount of hours gone into that.

davycc · 30-04-2017 07:43PM

love that e30 some turnaround on her! what colour is she diamond shwartz metallic ?

i had a mk2 gti 16v in an almost identical colour that i was fortunate enough to get it resprayed very satifysing feeling!

vintagevrs · 30-04-2017 08:09PM

Cheers fellas,

Yeah Davy, the very colour. Problem I have now is that I didn't give a **** about the paint before so I didn't care where I parked, how I washed it or half driving through a hedge etc...
Now every little mark will show up, I am nearly afraid to wash it. There are worse problems to have I suppose.
