Tatts Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 a rare Harlequin model of Polo. I havent seen one in years.... That's because most owners saw sense and scrapped them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Washed and polished the Civic today. (Almost ...) still looks like new and is over 7 years old !! My first car was a 7 years old - at the time - Marina 1.8 - it was a shed!! Quality has certainly changed over the years!! Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) Entitled to your opinion as everyone else - no worries. Loving it actually - space, style, reliability, practicality. Load space is huge - moved house using it - no van required - including beds!! Choice was: Volvo V30 - not enough internal space. BMW 1- Series - looks ugg, not enough space. Golf - great car, but 'everyone has one'. previous Astra - mmhh!! Average - didn't like the interior, and same price. previous Focus - good chassis - interior not nice. Vectra - looks old now. Better car than given credit for. Mondeo - just that bit too big. BMW 3- Series - newer engine just coming out - wanted diesel - more power, more economy - just out of range. Spaceship Civic - concept went straight to production - just so different at the time. Interior excellent. Instruments great. Ride not so. Rear visibility - get used to it. Diesel clutch made of chocolate if engine breathed on .... no comment!! Mine's sorted!! Al. Edited March 19, 2015 by atom3624 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lel-95 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 The mk1 van is an australian import, we think its been an aussie postal van! Someone has had a go at putting bubble arches and a roll cage in and theyve done a bad job so we are stripping it and putting it back to standard, it came with a nice 1600 xflow which should be nippy. I'm going to ford fair at silverstone this year in the puma, its quite a drive for me so i usually dont go but this year i am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trans4Mation Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Yeh looks to have been one sounded like a butcher had it last lol sweet on the x flow I had a cage buggy with one fitted reliable old lump. Worth more standard a good market for collectors or people wanting old skool advertising vans . Good to see its in the right hands. May see the puma there if I get chance to go aswell . keep pics posting as you go on the cars & van , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
