Not scrappage scheme related but I used to see a cappa driven by an old boy who lived on a caravan site, It was a 2.0s & I'd see it every day, was was always tempted to ask about it. Then one day I saw it had been replaced with a Hyundai Lantra A massive kick in the balls cos I'd just sold one I picked up for free to a local Kebab shop for £350!!
It is shocking! I already own 2 cars but neither of these are suitable for everyday driving. I'm always on the look out for a cheap daily but I can't even stump up £600 which seems to be about the lowest bangers go for... I'll have a free scrappage scheme car & happily TAX & INSURE it
Yeah keep hold if you can. If I'd have sold my mk3 that money would be long gone by now & I'd still be skint, I didn't so I am still skint but I have a cortina in the garage which distracts me from my empty bank account
I've never considered it. I wear contact lenses but I can sleep in them & only change them once a month so I don't really notice.
What sort of money does it cost & can they cure astigmatism?
Yeah I was going to do it the proper way then something was getting in the way? Exhaust, gravity, lazyness.. I can't quite remember. This is with a 2000e box.
My first car was a polo breadvan Had a mk1 golf & a mk2 Jetta Gt as well.
Not bad cars & look good slammed... They're for posers though & never as fun as a RWD old ford though
I always fill my gearbox up from the top (lever hole) just leave the plug out so you know when you've filled it... you will always put too much oil in this way so I just leave it to drain out the filler hole till its at the correct level.
As for crossmembers I have the same problem with my Anglia... the previous owner cut the centre out of the crosmember so the mount could be bolted in the correct position but still use the original mounting points,
I've since modified it again by slotting the holes cos the 2000e mount was even further back... total bodge being replaced with a Milton one soon.
I just gave away all my old NOFX, VGS, punk-o-rama, fat wreck chords CD's. Not touched them in years! Only ones I kept were Rancid, Dwarves & Bad Religeon cos they at least have an ounce of credibility
