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.

In America though, that was a Jetta.

Ah a fellow fan ]

I dunno if 'fan' is the right word. I mean the storylines are cack and full of holes; script is terrible; some of the acting is really poor; it's full of Japscrap (but they did improve on this as time went on), but yet the movies are still bloody enjoyable.

How can something so bad be so good!?! :eek:

Why would someone sell a 141 car with only 50k

They say they are going abroad?
Surely you would have known that or atleast have an idea of going before splashing out on a 141 car?

Prize maybe?

MuppetCheck · 15-05-2014 09:26PM

Probably a prize they won I'd say.

Why not say that then instead of making up BS about going abroad?

Only way to buy a car is to speak to someone. The wording is poor as it's open to interpretation. Plenty more adverts like that about.

Maybe they are, or maybe they're copying the same lines every second ad uses.

I'd love to give one of those Kias a go.

I finally got a picture of that R34 Skyline thatr I have spotted around, unfortunately it is a GT and not a GTT so around 200hp tops:(
Why go 2.5l tax if you are not getting the performance to justify it?

Noccy_Mondy · 15-05-2014 10:07PM

Why would you waste €3 or whatever it is on a stupid add like that. Buy yourself a few toffee crisps or something! No doubt it's mammy or daddy's credit card that was used :rolleyes:

Have you seen the driver yet?

Bpmull · 15-05-2014 10:18PM

I'm determined to get this bluetooth working in the golf tomorrow hopefully it a simple fix. I never really appreciated bluetooth until I'm without it.

Just looking at all the things I need for the car, I think I would need a loan, I need to get timing belt, waterpump as well as full service and 2 new front tyres and tracking and bodykit+painted, new brake discs and new driverside mirror and recaro fron seats and manual conversion...the list is endless.

Did you buy that black RX8??

I did.

Why? Know something about it that I don't?

Cat's well ****ed. It seems the first element fractured. Removed the wreckage and the engine seems to be running fine.

There's new spark plugs and a full service done on it.

Will probably end up getting it gutted, maybe next week. I may have to go somewhere over the weekend.

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!

Feckin hipsters :pac:

I was going to treat myself to some genuine Alfa 159 fitted matts until I got the price :shock:

How much?
Partsworld uk have them.
http://www.partsworld-uk.com/product/Luxury_Carpet_mats-Alfa_159_46003007

I've a similar set of mats in my 156. They're ****ing unreal and well worth the money. The wait of them alone is ridiculous. Also ridiculously deep pile.

I didn't pay anywhere near that for mine. I found them sitting in a rotting 156 v6 I ennis.

Is certainly recommend them though. They enhance the interior so much and the knock offs/cheapies (eg micks garage) aren't worth a ****.
