Its been a while since I've posted here but I'm looking to sell my current car and then get a cheap run around for 6 months to a year until the new focus rs comes out which I'm on the waiting list for but my car is about to go out of warranty and just want to get rid of it. I would maybe keep it after I get the focus to use day to day so the focus doesn't get any carpark dings on it. My max budget is £1500. What would you guys suggest? I've seen a 53 plate mk 1 fabia 1.2 classic with just over 29000 miles on the clock for £1500. Its got a full skoda service history to 2010 but the pictures don't show anything beyond that as well as a little rust starting to develop on one of the rear arches. Theres also an 05 plate mk 1 octavia estate 1.6 petrol classic with 139000 miles on it for £800 with full service history to 102000 miles. From the photos there looks to be a small scuff on the rear bumper but nothing serious. Any make or models considered except french or italian cars. Thanks in advance P.S. how much would a 62 plate octavia vrs blackline estate with 40000 miles on it be worth roughly?

What annoyed you today whilst driving ?

The prat in his Peugot 1007 who decided to straight line the roundabout causing me o have to brake since he came in to my lane. Then he decided that once I was within a car length of him as I was overtaking him he'd pull out in front of me without indicating and then proceed to overtake the car in the inside lane at about 1 mph faster than it was going using the whole overtaking lane as it was ending just ahead. Complete pillock!! :wall: -
Thanks for that Gregie. Basicly I hit a baby deer at 50mph, killed it and my car looks rather sorry for itself now. Theee is a list as long as your arm of stuff that needs replacing, bumper, bonnet, l/h headlight, l/h wing, grille, front crash beam and a few other bits and pieces that take the total bill up to £2750 :/

I've been quoted £2750 to fix it :-s Insurance job I think lol -
Can you keep an eye out for some bits please
Blackline Stu replied to Blackline Stu's topic in General Automotive Chat
Both I think There wasn't any poo on the car when I had a look at it but there is a fair bit of hair and blood :S -

Thanks cheezemonkai. I hit a baby deer just outside Croy near Inverness doing about 50-55mph. Safe to say some poo nearly came out -

Blackline Stu replied to RobClubley's topic in General Automotive Chat
I was on a back road doing 50-55 mph and I didn't even have time to touch the brakes before I hit it. My gf screamed like a little girl tho lol. I would post up a picture of the culprit but some people might not like it so I'm not going to bother. I'm just glad the airbags didn't go off -

It was only a baby deer so I was lucky in some ways lol. If it was an adult then I'd hate to think what would have happened -

It doesn't look pretty :( Some bits picked up off of the road -
Can anyone recommend a garage in the Aberdeen area that will do a good job of fixing my car that needs a new front bumper, bonnet and grille? Also to add a complication I need the car fixed by the 1st of June because I'm going down to England for 3 and a half months. Thanks in advance Stu

I was wonering if anyone knew where I could get second hand bits for my car in racr blue. Its a mk2 fl Octavia vRS and I need a new bonnet, front bumper, and bonnet grille. If you could link them to your post that would be great I might also need some more bits because I've not examined how bad the damage is to the car. Thanks in advance Stu P.S. If the bits are in Scotland that would be even better -

Crashed it into a deer last night. Its looking rather sorry for itself :( Tucked it up in a quiet back street and left it to deal with today since I'm not sure if its leaking coolant :/ -

Driving back to camp last night there was a gritter going the opposite direction so I pulled as far over to the verge as possible but the gritter still managed to somehow cover my windscreen in grit directly from the spinny bit at the back that spreads the grit -
Unusual unmarked police cars

They might have a Touareg as well but this was definitely a Tiguan on a 12 plate -

It wasn't unmarked but I saw a fully battenberged up VW Tiguan in Inverness last night that had pulled over a Range Rover. Never seen the police using them before
