Bought this on the bay for £130 with a months test left, put a back box on it for an MOT, modded it a bit and sold back in summer for what it owed me. Bought this as a trade in through work in 04, for £300 with one owner, FSH and 10 months test, put a wing on it for cosmetic purposes, taught my Mrs to drive in it, and it was her daily for 2 years (passed 2 MOTs without fault), sold it on to an old boy for £460.

Here's a couple more of the plumber: Second Vid he does a 9.66 quarter! How it doesn't end up on its side is a miracle

I've got 175/50/13s on my 8" allycats but then I'm one of those idiots who lowers mk2 golfs and makes em handle like curse word. The stretch I've got is as far as I'd go, I think the ones that are too extreme like that saxo are a bit dangerous. Imagine if you're in a crash, and the rim digs into the road... I've also heard a few horror stories from people who stretch stuff like Nankangs and the sidewall starts to come apart

I had this debate a few weeks ago. Was looking around for a cheapish welder to do my rocco (when needed) and my landy chassis. Looked at new ones, figured I'd buy the best one I could afford, trawled ebay for a bit and came up with this: 2nd hand Clarke 120e MIG welder, 2 pub gas bottles, one empty, one 3/4 full, spare liner, spare tips and shrouds, a small reel of 0.8 wire, plus another in the machine, mask, and a Bosch grinder with no disc. Won that lot for £135

I'd go and have a look, make sure the old bint's not run it out of water and done the headgasket, then offer her £200 for it, terry tibbs style....
BUT the mrs has only just got over me buying the scirocco. So it's probably best for my long term health if I don't.
EDIT: Plus this screams dealer to me...

If this had been the outcome I think this thread would have turned out very different.
Like has been said, you drive from A to B to avoid crashing. You see people acting like dicks walking down the street, but you don't shove them under buses.

Quite a nice (probably rotten) early mk2 rocco this (note early cars had factory single wiper). Headlamp wash and red interior are uber rare options as far as I know. Red interior would look ace in mine if I could snaffle it

I'd avoid filling anything with concrete or water, they're getting wise to that idea now. Oil drums must be cut to make sure there's nowt in, and they check fuel tannks at my local too.
Also make sure you weigh Catalytic converters in separately on the more modern stuff. They have platinum in em and are worth £40 a go depending on where you go.
I had a scrap montego round the back of mine in the spring, travellers came at night and took the whole thing and a spare gearbox and cyl head. Tw*ts.
Gonna weigh in some old alloys this weekend.
