No VAG hate here, my modern is a Skudder Fabia. 1.0 TSi, great on fuel and pretty competent when it comes to keeping up with traffic. Has plenty of kit for such a small car, feels bigger than it is, and I plan on keeping it for ages. Its quality probably isn't much different to anything else really, probably on a par with a comparable Fiesta or Corsa.

Have you considered inviting the neighbours over to discuss the matter over a nice, hot cup of Shut The Fuck Up? Perhaps offer them a little Mind Your Own Cunting Business to go with it?

Nothing worse than a crusty NOB.

Just reported a facebook ad openly advertising "bent MOTs" at £100 a go. Pisses me off - yes the MOT can be expensive and inconvenient, particularly for older cars, but ultimately it helps ensure cars are safe for the occupants and everyone else around them. I'm not expecting FB to actually do anything about it though.

Looks like an awesome little collection there. Must try a 620ti someday before they either go extinct or become too expensive to buy!

I think you broke stuboy, doc!

Slow day at work today, so lots of classified browsing occurring. Another Londoner... undescriptive ad, mediocre pics, short MOT but no drastic corrosion on its history and hey it's less than a grand. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/899474117594781

Another cheap hack from that there London... https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/576403237147721

Unsurprising - was at £350 with a short MOT on it.

In South Kensington - another ULEZ refugee? https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202110208685002

Well. This is apparently a thing that exists. Although with that GT6 engine it probably sounds quite beefy. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202110198675369

Seems decent enough for the money. Let's see what the advert text can tell us about the car... ... and that's literally it, apparently. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1405930419808299

Have we had this yet? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/214233957468242 EllPeeGees! Super subtle install, you barely know it's th.... oh.

I wonder why? Just no market for Tempras? Looked at the MOT history, doesn't seem to be anything too horrific on there, aside from a little welding in 2018.

I have a proper soft spot for these - my dad had a 620Si back in the 90s. His was blue with a tan interior, and rear arches that had blistered at a surprisingly young age. Arches seem OK on this one. And only a 20 minute drive away. Hmm... https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202110188636519
