That ain't no ti above that's for sure...;)

Ah there's something special about 'em, it's hard to explain, go out and drive one sure and come back to us!

@Discombobulate - stunning yoke! Absolutely gorgeous beast, I'm going to assume 1.9jtdm? Looks the business, I'm definitely jealous!

Thanks. Over the moon with it. Yes its the 1.9. Would like to have went with the 2.0 or even better the TBi but this one popped up at a great price with the EGR and belt only just done with low mileage so had to go for it. Hope the VRT man goes easy on me now.

I have to disagree with you on this one...
This model is TI by mywheels.ie

Make Alfa Romeo
Model 156 Ti Lusso 1.8
Colour GREY
Fuel Type PETROL
Engine Size 1.7L

That one has no leather, side skirts, doesn't look lowered and the wrong alloys so i'd say thats wrong. It also can't be a Lusso and a Ti I don't think as their two seperate specs.

Quick question, can we post a picture of a car(s) we had?

Tony Stark pulled up beside me in a carpark in Normandy.



Asked me if I wanted to swap, I was like "lolwut? can't you see I have a Nürburgring sticker?"

As an aside, is there an easy DIY method to remove those filthy things?

There were nostalgic pics we had way earlier in the thread, go for it

Me first... :P

First (well ok, second) I started in this... (98 1.3 Mitsubishi Mirage)



Then I progressed to this... (02 1.9 TDI Passat)



About 2 years later I moved on to this... (06 2.0 TDI Passat)



And finally (for now), I got this a few weeks ago! (05 3.0 TDI Quattro A6)



Via..... (05 3.0 TDI Quattro A6 #1)



and... (03 BMW 530D.. ok this was a loaner for a week but it still sorta counts!)



.. all the above were/are automatic too!

First car, 1.2 8v Fiat Punto HGT rep



2nd car 1.9 Toledo 130hp remap



3rd car 1.3 Lancer Evo rep



4th car Renault Megane Coupe



5th car 1.8 VVTL-I 190hp Toyota Celica



And my current is the 1.2 Grande Punto 8v

Haha I know what you mean!! I sold the Lancer and had no car, needed one desperately for work so picked that up cheap off a garage in Dublin at the time.

Maybe it's just the angle? But them alloys look a bit lost on the Audi.

All right then! Now I dont have all pics but two cars in particular stood out. One was a 96 Opel astra saloon. I sorta... Made an off roader out of it. Estate springs and shock extensions in the rear. 2.0 Vectra A springs and shock inserts in the front and it got about 3" lift. I also managed to put a set of 205/75/15 tyres on vectra diamond alloys. Installed a 1.4 8v multi point engine and ecu that I did up a little bit.
And a fat exhaust:o. Finally i put four rally giants on the front. Had planned for a roof cage, snorkel and a boot mounted spare on the saloon but sadly wrote it off. It remains to this day my favourite car and I have no pictures:(:(.
However, about two months later i got a 94 Astra estate and salvaging what i could from the other car. Did the same:D

Not the most flattering angle I guess!
How about this?


The wheels were not salvageable so got some steelies and hammerite. Nor was the engine.

Last mod was before the 2nd "cold" winter. These old cars run cold and a new thermostat didnt help.

But that did! -12 at 05:30 one morning when me and a mat headed to cork airport to pick someone up and we were toasting inside it:D
It did a lot of this:D

*Green astra on trailer was not mine.*
And this!

Yep, the forestry mudflaps found their way onto it eventually.

As the young kids would say ...er...wut?

Why is there a Megane coupe in the middle of that list? Lol

And why would you change from a nice lively 1.8 Celica to a Grande Punto?

Sorry for double post. I bought the Celica cheap as it had a few problems (mainly suspension) and I still had the megane be at the same time so flogged the Celica while I could then bought the GP which I love

Needs some tyre shine to set it off properly!

And the exhaust tip is screaming for a good clean and polish!

Looks really really well though, How are you finding it so far?
