    The worst was an old guy being rear ended by an impatient Audi driver who was going mental as there was traffic delaying her.

    A little holiday from the roads - aka a driving ban - would soon cure that impatience of hers :rolleyes:

    Not sure about other manufacturers but a great thing about BMW is they offer driver's floor mats on their own so you don't have to buy a full set just to get a new driver's one which is the one that wears the fastest :D

    I'm not joking here - get a set of shiny wheels, plastidip the bonnet black, cut the springs and chance it at 2k. I bet you there'd be interest and all!

    TDi's of that vintage would be rare enough alright. With a test, put it up for outrageous money (figure and double it kind of thing) and see what idiot will take it off you. Vento's are the in thing now!

    Haven't been on here all week except for a quick stop in to check out what's going on in general one or two days!

    That was my first thought too - but IF it was a UK import it could very well be a TDI.

    Not mine now, just someone I know who wants rid of it asap. She recons if she puts it up on Sun or Mon, it'll be gone by the end of the week... ya. She was thinking for about 1600 as is?

    Many moons ago I had a fiesta 1.25 as my first car. It was that or a Vento and i went with the lesser of two evils at the time.

    In a few places like America, they don't call MK3 Jetta "Vento" and they don't call MK4 Jetta a "Bora".

    That is a MK3 Jetta or Vento... call it however you want.

    Jetta / Vento / Bora - they're all Golf saloons to me.

    Didn't Johnny Tran win that when he raced Jessie for pinks? :D

    In some parts of the U.S they call a Golf a Rabbit.

    Best to ignore those places tbh :p
