am leaving mk2 section

[captin_urbis]

reason for this is i wrote my off on thurday night, smashed it into a taxi, only 3rd party so my car isnt getting repaired....

was well pissed off with myself though, just finished repairing the car, like with my idle problems, head problems, engine mounts etc

chassie leg is goosed....with get pics tonight as i strip it down...... and check further damage...


although i will end up back here at some point, its tata for now guys!

Savage! You dont have to leave you know just cause you no longer have a mk2. Stay around and make sure your dont stray to another make. What car you looking for now then? Is it a case of a quick fix until some money is around or can you deal with this unexpected event?

Hope you dont mind me asking but was it your fault?

 

[surreyfull]

sorry to hear that mate, but like clarkie said, no need to leave. surely at some point ur gonna want another mk2

 

[captin_urbis]

yeah it was my fault, didnt see the red light, plowed into a taxi lol...in my defence it was a bit icy and the floor was greasy so i skidded quite far lol....

im not leaving as suck just not gonna be part of the section (as i no longer have one to drive) lol will still try and help u lot if i can!

about another car...i have been wanting a polo mk2/3 for ages so gonna get one of those...then for a daily car gonna get another beeza....not sure if im gonna go for a mk3 or mk2 yet...depends on money at time, and whats avalable i guess!!!

but if you want any parts let me know....should be able to help you out...after all i wont need em lol

oh dear

Why would you buy a polo over an ibiza? I would have an arosa before i got a polo. I just always see them and think inside we are very similar but outside im looking alot better

oh i agree, not about the arose maybi...although they look sh*thot modified right! (same with the new beetle!)

but i guess its just a crush on them...its not the polo thats the same as ibiza its this one.....

 

[CIarkie]

Yeah but you could have porsche written on your engine!

 

[captin_urbis]

lol would liek a mk1 ibiza....only never ever seen one anywhere! as far as im aware they are all myths lol

 

[CIarkie]

They are still about. i passed up the oppurtunity for one for my first car and i regret it to this day (would of owned MK1-MK3 ibiza by now). I saw one with 50000 miles on the bay not long ago in Southampton, was close to having that to put mile on as my daily run around.

Dont take this the wrong way but is it an up north thing spelling like 'liek'. I have seen this alot (in canada mainly). Not having a dig mate.

I understand the MK2 MK3 polo thing i've had a mk2 and i'd love one as a project/toy. I've got my eyes out for a Coupé S resto.

Unlucky on trashing the ibiza the 1.6's are rare little creatures as well, i know what you mean about the breaks in the grease as well......... they are shite!!!!!!

Good for scrapping only.

make sure you salvage any parts that are still ok on it then at least you can make a bit of money back.

but still a shame it was coming on nicely.

 

[captin_urbis]

aye cars been up on ebay for a bit, so not too bad still getting something out of it
