The Mk1's have reminded me of how I lusted after a HSR Chevette in the late 80's.

I'd like silver CKs but the brilliant silver they sell currently is too bling for me. Hence I've been considering a set of Anthracite or Brilliant Silver with a strip and new less shiny powder coat.

Sometimes I think burying your head in the sand and not getting a VCDS read of the chocolate box is the best for now until the slush fund is complete. :drink:

If it was a car I'd just bought, I would assume that the vendor knew about the imminent bill looming and flogged the car on. If it was a dealer then you could try to get compensation. If it was a private seller then you'll just have to grin and bend over.

Nice rabbits.

Might try it but just got another start so not too worried about it just yet. We did check it fot fault codes before and after a long hard test drive and only double checked the codes because I've done 3000 miles in it in just over a week

If I want to shake my teeth out and liquify my internal organs I just go out in the ricemobile. I swear all these people with naturally decked cars (non-funbags) either build the car and look at it on their drives, or sure as sh!t don't drive them for any distance on roads over here at least.

Much like a Range Rover on 22" rims. It may look good but it isn't pleasant.

I used it as often as possible and it was fine. My cars are usually always pretty low so ive maybe just got a higher tolerance of what ill put up with
