AnnoyingPentium

I stand corrected...

Thanks guys. Thinking about it, I don't think it's 50m, nor do I think it's 25m. I reckon it must be in some horrible limbo in the middle.

Slightly less than standard Olympic length or something like that... like everything else by East Ayrshire Council, it's not quite right.

Said "f*** it" and pushed myself tonight. Made it to 40 before calling it a night. Feeling quite chuffed.

Dod of bathroom sealant around the seal. Job's a good 'un. Maybe air out your motor too though. The stuff I used smelled bad.

It was my Dad's second car. His first was a D-reg base spec (Merit?), the rear '1.2' badge from it lives atop my stereo system as an ornament now. I'll post a photo when I'm home. That H-reg SR has quite a story. My Dad sold it around 2002 when he bought an ST185 Celica. It spent around 12 years in a garage about 20 miles away from where I live. It was then bought by a young lad in my village (who has an Octy vRS now) who blew the engine up. It was then bought by my late father's friends from school who fitted a new engine with Weber carbs (like the way my Dad had it) and some other snazzy bits and restored it as best they could. Unfortunately, finances meant that they couldn't keep it and it was sold on eBay with one hell of a bidding war. It's now with a guy in Northamptonshire. Now, are we a wee bit off topic?

Nope. He bought it in 1998 for about £850. It soared in value because it's a 1.4 SR - a clean one too since it received a lot of work to it. This is a photo of it by the new owner.

+1 on the Golf being a "chavmobile", same with the Bora in my neck of the woods. I know of one modified vRS and honestly it's not too bad. Seat Ibiza seems to get a hell of a time here too. Everything else is just standard 1.4 TDIs (a black one down the street), 1.9 TDIs (a beige one up the street) and my wee red 1.2 in the middle.

Better be quick, mind you. Prices are soaring for everything "classic". My late Dad's H-reg Nova went for just over £7,000 in June.

Mine looked like that. Just threw a set of 17cm Pioneers in, didn't cost much. Sound excellent too!

I'll just stick to listening to The Who, methinks.

Never a piece I was ever interested in. One of my friends from school played some of it for her Higher Music exam and having to hear it every flaming time she practiced on the piano did my bloody head in. EDIT - oops, it was actually Minuet in G that she played.

Brilliant!

I think this might suit quite nicely... 20220205_145939.mp4

There is one. It was fitted on the Mk1.

Mine has them too. Albeit I'm missing two on my driver's door.

If memory serves this is also common on GM SAABs, but I doubt the relevance of such a thing to the discussion at hand.

Thanks Ken, I could never tell the difference! Fixed it.

Never have I been so jealous in all my life. Yours sincerely, Hypothermic Hands

Howdy and welcome to Briskoda! I love the username by the way.

KeithCheetham had listed one in 'Free Stuff' so I sent him a PM, to at least get my foot in the door.

I think it was @HeavyMetalRich that had joked with me about ending up with the dash cup holder in my Fabia... Erm, it happened... 20220205_145939.mp4

That image has a follow-up now. You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain.

Will need to try that as my spare is dud. Thanks Pete!
