Very. I just tell myself that I'm browsing for the thread and then bad things happen.


Oops.

We've all been tempted, but has anyone done the deed?

[Amused2death]

Haven't bought anything shown on the thread, however it gave a lot of inspiration and ended up with an E46 after originally looking towards a Ford Focus

And I'm so glad I did.

Is that as good as it looks?
If so I'll take it now, don't bother to wrap it

Shame it's so far away to go and view

I cannot imagine the horrors that lay beneath those sill extentions !

I don't tend to post anything I'm interested in, but without this thread I doubtless be looking less. Currently tying to do a deal on something interesting, but it's not been too successful so far.

117 bhp isn't a lot for a 2 litre twin cam!

It was in '89!

No it wasn't. Even back in the 80s you'd expect more than that. That's more like the output you'd expect from an 8valve engine.

That looks like the eight valve lump to me.....

I understand and would be the same. If you are successful, or if you fail to get it, will you post it then?

Are you gutted or do you think you had a let-off?

That did cross my mind, that and the fact that there were no interior shots or pics of the roof....
The sill extensions, were they original on the 924 Turbo?

Oft fancied a 944 Cab but the reality is that the rear seats are just a shelf and little use for a tall 9 year old...

Back to reality I guess, another car I won't ever get.

Bit of both. I hadn't told my wife when I bid on it, then lost the auction by £100 and was a tad miffed

Hi guys, been a long term lurker on this thread.

I was wondering what your opinions of this are?

http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/161694504198?nav=SEARCH

The mileage puts me off on a old French car that is all But it is cheaper than other 1.9 gtis.

[Fast Bug]

Why is the slam panel 2 colours? None of my friends ran Pug GTI's, so I don't know if they were all like that or not. Also any car looks good photographed when it's wet.

[RAClNG SNAKE]

All the slam panels were like this. Definitely not very honest of the seller to photograph it when wet though.

[Baked_bean]

Hi guys,

That was my thoughts, i have contactred the seller who seems ok though.

Im just concious of the mileage on that type of car, as i said its half the price of a mint one so i don't expect perfect and i don't mind a minor project.

[Fast Bug]

See if you can get the 306 GTI-6 engine at the same time in case that one goes pop.

I'm a bad influence aren't I?

Back to basics with a series Landy

Looks like it sold whilst I dithered.

[JZZ30]

This looks interesting, although admittedly, I know little to nothing about them!

Did you, W00DY? Spill the beans if so!

I just bought an Alfa 147 GTA comfortably inside thread budget, but I didn't link it here in case one of you sneaky bds beat me to it. Does that count or does it make me a bad man not a team player?
