Chris_a_73's Ibiza Reader's Ride!

[Chris_a_73]

The seller sent me a message saying the last bidder wasn't genuine and I should give him a call. OOO TEMPTINGGG!

I'm off to UWE, Bristol.

Sadly my parents filled my side of the garage with crap so that isn't an option

Nice progress mate!

Oh I forgot to menton, I went to my graduation last night, with Damon Hill as the guest speaker. My dad took a picture of me with him so will put it on here if I find it

Wonder if that FR is categorised due to the previous damage... makes you wonder given the low price.

I'm also in the club of leaving the Ibiza, I'm going away abroad to college for 14 months! Need to work out what to do with the car before I leave in November.

 

[Chris_a_73]

Where are you going for college? Which country?

Sorry for the really late reply, it's the Pilot Training College in Florida. Little Ibiza is going to be properly left behind!

 

[Chris_a_73]

Ah sweet, doing your PPL?

After being at Uni for 2 weeks, I already miss my car and hate buses

 

[Blanco92]

Yes, as well as the CPL, MEIR and everything else to get me a (f)ATPL, hopefully!

I've been down in London just lately and using the tube... seems to me that anything using the roads round there just can't win!

So are you training to be a Commercial Airline pilot? If so, when you're making a silly amount of money, please buy me a fancy car ^_^

With the debts we incur these days to get us started... it's a wonder if we'll ever get debt free.

In the meantime, if I win the lottery, I'll let you know.

What are you doing at UWE, if you don't me asking?

:| it's costing a friend of mine £250 an hour in a flight simulator, not to mention the cost of travelling and hiring an aircraft. Seems if you want to be a pilot now the beat way to do it is to get in to a training scheme with an airline! Hope it all goes smoothly got you mate, get your ibiza shipped over, it will baffle the Americans lol!

I'd say you are quite accurate in what you say there. Unfortunately, even if you go through an airline now, they only pass you on to their chosen FTO (flight training organisation) and so you still end up paying for the course yourself anyway. I just hope my choice of college's links with airlines is as good as they say it is.

Imagine taking Ibizas like ours there, our 1.2s against some Corvette V8s... be embarrassing!

I went home last weekend, cleaned up the beeza and she's now in the garage for winter

Still not sure what I'm going to do with the Ibiza over the next couple of years at Uni.. Might be tempted to take it with me to Uni next year when in private housing and away from campus?


Pics of the new car Marksy!

Okay, this was LONG overdue. Finally got round to doing the drum brakes. Goodbye rust, hello gloss black!

[VRSLOZ]

Nice cosmetic touch there mate, cleans it up no end

 

[Joshh]

Car looks great mate! Really smart!

Now just sell me your alloys lol

 

[Chris_a_73]

Cheers guys

If I get a Cupra in the summer (which I plan to do), my alloys will be up for grabs. Just gotta wait and see
