So I took the plunge and bought myself a car for fun. I still have the A6 and now I have a Mk2 Ibiza. You may recognise her as I had her off a member here....

here she is sitting on her former owners drive....

To date I have removed the old man wind deflectors, and treated her to some new decals. :lol:

I'm hoping to change the aerial for a smaller one, get some more rims for her and get a new head unit.

Will get some pics up as soon as I've taken some. I'm too busy driving round and smiling. She has a lovely burble and lifts even the darkest day. :D

Cool!! The green beastie lives on.

Seen this car on a couple of occasions and it has always looked well, nice little motors to have fun in and are cheap to run and maintain.

i wondered if a forum member had bought this nice purchase and good to see it still on the forum.

I'm very pleased with her. She makes me smile just sitting in her on the drive. The neighbours think I'm a loon at times just sitting in here at times. :lol:

oh no, here's trouble ;)

I'm nothing compared to you gramps :p

nice to see its gone to a good home. ;)

She is indeed in a very good home. She's well loved by not just me but my children too. :D

Quite a rare colour, apparantly.

:)

You say that, but there used to be a Mk2 in the same colour round here. Never figured out what engine it was tho. think it was a mechanics car. :D

She is not my daily driver, she's purely for fun, laughs, shows and meets. :D :D Her petrol consumption is next to nothing compared to the Audi I'm pleased to say.

Theres a fair few 1.4 sports in the same colour, there (was) one lives/lived over the road from Kez.
Vicky's one is/was a diesel and you see the odd one crop up on the Bay as 8V GTi's.

Good to see that it has stayed on the forum. Would have been a shame for a chav to buy it and it end up wrecked within a few months.

No point asking about plans cos you have said you are keeping them close to your chest :lol:.

Good to hear that the kids like it aswell!!

Hahaha, I know, and I did, not fall off, but pulled over with mad camber and only 1 bolt holding wheel (D90's, as had threaded bolts) and was pooping it for ages after.
