well, Daddy Phantom lives to fight another year .... seems to be getting harder though... found rust for the first time.... i suppose its 19 years old now, so to have none before this is ok... and its where the sill is bent from idiots jacking it up wrong...

 

 

needed welding for MOT, so fixed.....

 

 

The car has a de-cat, and a custom map to match the hardware (3" downpipe and 3" system using powerflow boxes) ... the same place has been MOT ing it for the last 4 years, I always assumed they were not checking the emissions, as people with sports cats struggle to pass let alone NO cat! :O however this year it failed on emissions :

 

 

I had to wonder what they were playing at , no mention of the missing cat! however....they changed the oil and the plugs, and kept running additives through it... and they eventually got it down (just) to the required amount! :O with NO cat! :O Gobsmaked to say the least ........

my tailpipes! lol.... 

 

 

I hate it when this happens..... a good 5mm on x2 michelin pilot supersports :( not having unmatched tyres, put x2 new goodyear eagle F1 asymmetric 5 s on .... other supersport is for sale on ebay if anyone wants it! £200 bill when I really don't need it :(

Bugger.  

Bad times.

 

But if it helps, all my tyres are ok

feeling a bit down, in this second 'lockdown' struggling for money really, having 3 cars is a luxury for just two of us... anyone want to buy it? MOT and service within last few hundred miles, x4 "as new" tyres, goodyear F1 supersports on the front, Goodyear F1 asymetric 5s on the rear (less than 200 miles ago) make me an offer. (except Haydn (nice yellow vRS) ) . its no going anywhere unless an enthusiast wants it, to keep it alive, and NOT break it. PMs only, any posts on here will be deleted... (to be fair this will probably be deleted as its not paid for ad...)

I've already got a full driveway with a tidy mk1 Leon PD150 in stock ready for breaking.

Appreciate the thought though

Was wondering if this car was still around after my 4 years away from skoda, glad to see you've still got it.

 

You guys still doing ring trips?
