Post a picture of your car here Part 4 (quote a picture, get a 24h ban!!)

Cheers mate (how did you do that BTW - for future reference )

The interior is very comfortable, there's a few stains on the seats that you would see up close that I haven't manage to get with the camera, overall it ain't bad though. Theres a crack in the righ tail light as you might see in the picture, there's a bit of brown tape on it, so i'm on the lookout for a cheap light at the minute, they're not too expensive

Thanks Moneymaker

I uploaded them on imgur.com

They have the option to rotate images, but surprisingly enough it automatically corrected them as soon as they were uploaded.

Much derided now for poor engines and iffy build quality, but in it's day that was a VERY desirable Celtic Tiger car. It has aged well.

I'd say there must be a big step up in comfort and especially in performance from the colt.

A huge improvement. I love my V-dub.

So when are you carbon-wrapping the badge, rizzee?

The 1.3 in the colt is one of the most lifeless engine I've ever experienced. The same engine is worse again in the lancer.

Hahaha Jesus. I highly doubt that's fixed. Is he selling anything else?

Sold for not much less than that. I'm happy anyway

Thanks. Mad to think I spent less time getting and engine and gearbox into this, and getting it road worthy, than I did in doing up the Wolseley which was running when I bought it. It still needs a few finishing touched mind, bonnet needs to be sprayed and it needs black plates firstly.

Looks great though. You'll get there eventually I'm sure. Black plates is a must!

I've still a hape of work to do on the S60 that I've been meaning to do since I bought it last October. She just hit the 104k mark and is due a service now. I bought all the bits n pieces for it back in March. Laziness eh? I've also decided that I'll be the final owner of her after I spent €250 to get the alternator sorted 2 weeks ago. The car only cost €700. Didn't have the time/patience to do it meself. Had to drive to Galway the following day after she clapped out on the motorway. I'll keep it for as long as she keeps going

I'd really like a 1275 chrome bumper. When I was looking around for replacement engines I was thinking about a 1275 but I just went for the 1500 to make it an easy job really.

For the first time ever today I just decided to go for a spin in the Yaris, went down to Garretstown/Old Head of Kinsale, can't beat Ireland(Read: Cork/Munster :pac:) on a day like today, dare I say I actually enjoyed the Yaris on those roads







Not a picture of the car but of lovely Cork
