5 years? How about nearly 12!

How young do we look!! Happy days! ;-)

I really liked the look of these. Shame that they were never made in 4wd. Would have been a proper icon.
A guy in the village next to mine had one. His reg was bi6 something or other. A bit chav but the car was still iconic. He now runs about in an A3 tdi..... Hmmmm....

My friend did a bit of editing on one of the pics



My new favourite pic of the car

The coil overs are set to stock height currently but I'm going to adjust it to be slightly lower

Unfortunately this led to my wife being issued a section 59 ticket

And you wonder why no one has any respect for the police these days............ ;-(


( in the old days, you'd get a pull, they'd explain you were being a bit of a tit, you'd say "sorry officer" and be a bit more careful in future. These days they just come across as being very heavy handed and in-flexible)

Unfortunately this very much seems to be the case

[neiljohnson]

Well got no updates for mine but my brother has now bought one





It's been wrapped in as close to moonstone blue as possible & I think it really suits the car

[Falsey]

Not fussed on the black roof, but the moonstone is really good.

The roof is carbon effect & a bit marmite but the moonstone looks really good!

100k an issue on that Volvo engine? Been a few years so suspect it might be a bit more. Had a T5 on 270k went like stink and not a rattle to be heard. Must be one of the most reliable engines ever, despite even in stock calling on 240hp,

No Volvo engine here!!
The mk1 Rs has a turbocharged Zetec
