EmDee's Black 05 LCR - NOW SOLD :(

[6th.replicant]

hehe no mate it is dead serious.

I need to pay for a mortgage. The polo has 27k miles since new, one old lady owner. It'll need a few things done to it like brakes coilovers carbs and a new exhaust, but I have a budget of 2k and it cost 800 so not too bad. Sorry to bail on you guys, I was looking at seats, but I could turn around and sell this baby with the VW scene tax and make £400 tomorrow. It's got a reciept for every tank of petrol ffs!

Great little cars, although Mk3 Polo ownership can be a bit of a 'culture shock': its door seals won't leak; there'll be no probs with the ignition; its rear wiper motor won't need replacing after 5 mins, due to leaks; there'll be a complete lack of squeaks & rattles from inside the cabin; some poxy wee bolt that can render the clutch kaput won't snap; no iffy fuses that'll kill the cooling-fan's activation; & the rear brake discs (drums?) are not made of recycled Lancia Beta saloons' subframes.

Any sarcastic reference to current VW Group (lack of) build-quality & engineering integrity is purely intentional.

 

[EmDee]

oooh kaaay that was a touch on the bitter side!

I will miss some of the mod cons - like ac, lekky windows, central locking, tachometer lol

and the brakes are actually made of chocolate

but there's very little to go wrong and what does can be fixed with duct tape and a hammer

roll on the new era, I'm strangely looking forward to it

 

[jonjay]

I am going to ban you from my friends list martin for forsaking us.

 

[EmDee]

bet you'll change your tune when I ask you to detail it...

Don't forget the brillo pads as well......

 

[EmDee]

Well, I just watched Leona drive off for the last time.

Sadly I feel she is going to a questionable home where she will no doubt be abused.

Here she was a few hours before she drove off:

Thanks for reading

 

[D.K]

I feel for you mate, If ever you need to feel the boost again give me a shout
You did'nt sell her to a chav did ya ?

 

[EmDee]

Yes mate, dodgy Brummie geezer turned up with three of his mates and they tried to get me to throw in the shirt off my back lol

They seemed like a nice bunch actually, I just really hope he looks after her.

 

[beezertart]

aww poor emdee hope you got what you wanted for her..

 

[EmDee]

yeah I guess, he talked me down a lot but I ended up with 7600 for her so I could've done worse.

To be honest I think I could have got 8 if I held out for the right buyer, but I saw the cash and thought about how much I wanted new wheels and tyres on the polo for springfest and the rest is history...

 

[EL]

Mate the car really was stunning today, no wonder they scooped it up. They got a right catch there. Look forward to the new build thread yeah

 

[beezertart]

so we'll be seeing you on sunday then?

 

[Mylo]

one less of the black leons in the speshul crew now

Hoping the retro projects rewards you mate

 

[EmDee]

Yeah you guys'll meet the beast on Sunday and realise how well I've come out of this with a large amount of cash in my pocket and a lovely car.

Don't get me wrong I will seriously miss the LCR, but she never made me smile quite as wide as the Polo does.

Just bought some G60 steelies and some 195/45/15 Toyo Proxes T1Rs

 

[beezertart]

if it makes you smile then it's all good, you can say you've done the LCR thing as well....retro is the way forward

 

[EL]

Course your smiling, you saved money and found a mint example polo. I was shocked myself to be honest when i saw it. Good luck with it!!

 

[Brummy]

Mart, make sure you come find us and say Hi on sunday (puggs will be there )Ill have to have a look at the Polo .
some laddo from Brum got your car then.. hmm will have to keep an eye open for it, but Brums a pretty big place.

 

[Mylo]

you can't spend the cash though Marty

Millstone, sorry mortgage, time dude

 

[Murdered LCR]

Wish I could get that much for selling my car would be sold in shot if i could ,get those steels banded to 9j
