Well thats, that Then

Had to happen one day.
My beloved Dub has been replaced by this-



I no longer own a Retro

[trg1984]

its quite retroish.

[bstardchild]

Also fairly rair and even ifit ain't retro they've been around for a while and will qualify fairly soon I reckon

[Lewis]

I think those Galants are quite cool! I barely ever see any at all!

[Bioshock]

Hmm there's a serious lack of hoopage,the biggest wheels fitted to these,are 15 inchers off the twin turbo legnum
these are the standard 14's

[reanimation]

wheels will sort that, not 100% retro but different. tell us more about it/em and why?

[kerbsidemotors]

Its a big Galant! These cars are pretty good! (You loose points if its a bloody GDI engined one though!)
The one to go for is the Legnum VR-4 with its twin turbo V6. Almost indistinguishable from the normal Galant estate but can give any Evo a run for its money. (Memories of toasting a Porsche boxster on the Irvine dual carridgeway then realising I was in an L reg estate automatic!)

[kerbsidemotors]

Sorry 'lose' not 'loose'! Sorry for not speaking proper England!

[TwincamGTi]

'Evolution Estate' ...

... potential!

[spottedlaurel]

It's a thumbs up here! One of the most sinister looking front ends ever, sadly on the saloons the back is a bit too timid but you don't get that problem with the estate.

[Tarka]

Penti Arrikola was pretty hot in his I recall. Don't be so glum. You can use your time asleep at the wheel dreaming of your next retro. Thats what I do in my daily.

[briandamaged]

Slammed, on Compomotive TH's or MO's and a variation on the Ralliart colours.....it could work. And I agree with everyone who has pointed out that evil-looking sharknosed front....

Well,
after finding out that child number two is on the way and our little Ridge back puppy who is 5 months,but already 3 stone!.it had to be an estate car,but obviously not a people carrier.
I had desperately wanted skinnys Merc estate but was shot down in flames by the other half
Anyways we needed a modern (reliable) estate.
After browsing through the Auto Trader,this just seemed to jump out at me,among all the anonymous looking cars.
I read through quite a few reviews and was impressed by what I saw.(BMW build quality,140 top end,very reliable)
It's a '98 on an S.Has electric one shot windows all round,twin airbags,'lectric sunroof,air con,cruise and is mint condition in and out.Its done 50,000 miles and here the best bit-It only cost £1600! Bargain.
Plans for it are lowering it 40mm and whacking on black 17's thats all.(Though the Ralliart theme is very tempting!)

Who knows,one day it probably will become a desirable piece of j-tin.

[vicsmith]

I`ve got one of those! Albeit the earlier bar of soap version but its still got an ace nose! They`re brilliant cars. Yours has got the angry front, best front end of any modern car I reckon.

[Kris]

Slightly obscure, I likes it.

Some flat faced, black rims would look great I reckon.
