Default Collected my new car yesterday :) pics inside :)

got myself a new winter car/runabout/toy this weekend collected it from Bristol and it was a long journey there and back but well worth it.
car is a 205 gti with MI16 engine.has loadsa cool extras and is in very good nick

spec i can think of for those that are interested
MI engine with loom and ecu,K+N cone lol,magnex exhaust,front strut brace,bilstein shocks with eibach springs all round,push button start,good clean interior,cd headunit,stealth shelf with 6x9's,front sony speakers...extras i got with the car that are still to fit...4 new excellent condition standard alloys,2 brand new tyres,206 gti discs calipers n pads with mounting brackets,brand new master cylinder and brake lines for front.

Car is brilliant to drive so think i'll have a lot of fun with it.prob throw a cage in it and take it to the ring at some point

many thanks to Cola,Lorna,Emma and Davey for taking me in on sat and havin me at the hotel.no thanks go to dave for making me sit on a mobility scooter in the back of a transit van for AN HOUR AND A HALF to go get my car lol
jokin matey hope the 3door is all good too

id like to say a huge thankyou to Lanky Lew who went and viewed the car for me a week ago and then yesterday collected me and took me to the guys house.Top guy

here she goes:

Mi16 ones usually seem to go for around £1500 (may be wrong as i've not looked much) But that looks super tidy so quite probably more!!!

How I laughed sitting all warm and snug in the front of the van with the tunes on... I could just imagine you sitting on the scooter in the back of the van

Car looks nice though, you'll have to bring it down to Hotel Watford II
