Right then new car new thread more money to spend [emoji23]
I think those who know me may have guessed the car i replaced the frankly ruined polo with.... yep its a 106 [emoji23]
Before i get onto the new car id like to take a minute out to show the previous motors off
So where it all began, the 106 obsession started with this £150 ebay bargain when i was 12 years old, loved it to bits did a few jobs on it and sold it for a healthy profit to a nurse
A few cars later ( mk6 escort, rover metro and a saab 900s ) i picked up this little beauty, to me this car was the coolest thing going it was deafeningly loud low as anything and just soooo cool haha even though it had a shot release bearing
That car subsequently got swapped for this GTI with miss matched wheels no air filter no coilpack cover and a missing arch, still cool though and my favorite colour blaze yellow
A bit more swapping later and i got this mint condition low mileage quiksilver with a very chavy sunstrip lol
Sold that on for close to £1000 and was one of the best profits i made
Next i found this little 106 ski in a scrapyard for a couple hundred quid needing welding and a MOT which i did and sold it on
Was a little while then until i had my next 106 but this one was my biggest project and turned out rather nice in the end, deffinetly stood out haha
That got sold on and i bought this 1.1 gti replica with a badly dented door in many shades of blue haha
Which i then swapped plus a few hundred for this next GTI
The GTI donated all its engine and suspension for my favorite 106 nicknamed goldie which to this day i really miss
The next 106 was a runaround car i bought for when the polo broke down lol i still loved it even though the gear linkages kept popping off at the worst times [emoji23]
Next i bought this to make into a track car but never bothered [emoji23]
Again there was a big gap in between selling that one and buying the next one, this quiksilver was bought as a weekend toy while i had my focus, eventually got scrapped though
Next i got my mint low mileage GTI but i could never bond with this car because quite frankly i hate red cars they always look faded no matter how much you polish them haha, i was going to respray it but didnt want to spoil its originality so it got sold on
So 13 106s later we move onto the 14th which i shal update with momentarily [emoji23][emoji23]
