MK1 laguna

devastatingly interesting. 1.9dti. very proud. will eventualy have compomotive five spokes and more boooost. just took some pictures of it up the mines. using long exposure and torchlight.

realy want a volvo 240 but have grown atached to this french barge. my second non land rover car.


700quid but now i think ive finaly got it sorted after a new alternator, tensioner, gearbox, filters and fluids, cambelt, discs and pads. and respraying and clearcoating bits were the taxi sign had been. intend to keep it if and when project 240 comes along. thankfully have either done it myself or used a good mechanic for lift ect. so no horrific reno dealer bills. no other plans subtletey is king. just a few tricks for oomph.

Wow, you've managed to make that look rather cool in the photos Nice.

why would it be?

[sniff petrol]

Ex mini-cab, not suprised it needed a new gearbox.

[Baffled Spoon]

Ace photography there. Nice one.

[matt21]

how many miles it done?

[Don1]

I'm loving the pictures - never seen it before, and I like!

[flattotheboards]

Great pictures.

125k. wind up? is it my liking of volvo 240's and amazing writing skills, or your inability to detect sarcasm? although i do want a turbo brick. i was hoping someone would pick up on the compomotives thing. i think theyd set it off nicley but allso worry about it looking like a wannabe touring car. or worse. a barrymobile.

yes there off a lotus and arent white compomotives but similar. sort of.

yummy hubcaps. think it would look great not 100percent about it tho.

Lagunas always make me think of Alain Menu et al - good car for the money

You have to admit alec this thread echoes the old posts of the PH wind ups from the old school, when people used to put up pictures of Saabs etc on the piss take.

When someone puts up an early Laguna ex-taxi bigging it up along with Volvo 240s I smelt a rat.

If it's genuine I apologise, nice photos all the same.

And the Mondeo's fine!

mid ninteys btcc. sweeeeeet. used to really like the btcc lags when i was little. liked them in nescafe colours.

theres a few good clips on youtube.

no denton. i genuinley want a volvo 240 with a B23F+T. and the laguna is the best barge i could buy cost effectivley and run into school every day and still be a little bit, maybe quite a little bit cool.

[WildCards]

Great photography, nice car, they're probably rare enough these days to have finally found some degree of coolness, although the dag dag noise maker under the bonnet may just nullify that i'm afraid.

[charnock]

actually like my turbo diesel power. and will tweak the boost a few psi. realisticaly i wil never achieve huge amounts of anything. ive had some good b-road fun out of it. would have it over all petrol variants exept the quad cam v6. but then id have to murder my parents and sell the house to pay for fuel. might have to anyway.

[ironictwist]

Stunning shots! I mean really! Makes it look like a star!

I have to ask how you brought the pictures to that stage?

'No Denton'? A B23F+T - is that a Labrador?
