I have a new toy YAY. I never wrote about my Aygo on here as they are unappreciated and I do run an owners forum but finally I get to a have a readers car thread biggrin


And here she is..












She is in excellent condition inside and out bar a few minor cosmetics which I plan to work on. It has of course rained ever since I bought her so I do love the T-bar but not quite enjoyed it much yet. I need to stop making the lights pop up and down before I wear them out laugh and well the sound it makes is immense. I love it.

I am seriously going to smack the next person who (non petrol head friends mostly) who can not understand why I went from a brand new car to an F reg irked Because its Retro cool!!

I want one of these so badly. And the fact that insurance on a 1.6 is cheaper to insure than my ZR!

Lovely car and looks rust free!

Looking good Kit. I have just got my mk1 out from its winter slumber so I'm fairly excited with it all.
If you have any questions aboutthe car, technically wise, give me a shout. I have most parts on mine apart over the years.
The old mk1 still feels special when you drive it, even when its 20 odd years old.

So I think it's fair to say this one is more fun than the old motor!

Looks tidy, love the colour too. Not see any round me no more. Well, actually did spot one being driven by a woman not that long ago. And it sounded pretty nice too as she "played" with the engine. biggrin

Thank you! Kind offer will remember that, am sure I will have loads.

I partly wanted an old car because I couldn't do anything to the new one, never needed fixing etc laugh So I am hoping to learn some proper mechanical stuff and have been told the 4A-GE is a good engine to learn from.

Yep havent found any yet, watching one part on the door hinge but otherwise seems to be mint. Need a bit work on the front skirt and has had some welding done previosuly but I can't even believe how little dents/scratched or anything I can find!

Ah the Aygo was fun dont get me wrong and if I could have both cars I would. But yeah the power is nice and so is the noise.

And well if that was the past two days it could have been me laugh I see anyone and I have to play with the engine. Actually I do that even if no one is about laugh

Bizarre, I commented on this then drove to tesco, and walking through the car park saw a mr2 exactly like this! Same colour and wheels!
Strange!

My brother got one of these in 1994 ish and I loved it, I remember him dropping me off to college and njoying the sideways route we took! Lovely engine. He still has it in his garage, needs a bit of work which I doubt he'll ever get round too sadly.

Enjoy my friend.
