It looks like a cheap copy of the Corsa. I don't see why they need the Viva, Adam and Corsa

Fancy an old Audi 80 sport, or Audi a4 se with chrome trim around the windows, but I can't afford the insurance. GRRR. :(

I had a 1996 A4 se for a few months a while back. Awesome car! Bought it for mini parts collecting then bought my truck so sold it. Wish I still had it though

Mates dad had an Audi 80, I think, when it was only a couple of years old. I thought it was the nuts. :) I'm planning on buying an FG Monster beetle next weekend, so can't afford the insurance increase ATM. The Astra is proving to be reliable, just fancy a change, and always wanted an Audi. Found an Audi 80 sport on Ebay going for very little money that needs a few bits doing.

Safety glass my f***ing a**e. I have loads of small cuts and scraps now after spending a day stripping my Vectra after the accident.

Ben_O
why did you strip it? Did you have aftermarket stuff on it?

I did the maths and worked out that I will be just as bad off breaking it and selling it off in spares than if I had claimed for it but at least this way I don't loose 8 years NCB. I also get a donor Z19DTH engine that I can fit into another Vectra, Astra, Saab, Fiat or Alfa if I want. There are plenty of them knocking around with blown engines and that is the one bit of mine that is still in good order.

Any good websites for largescale r/c buying &selling. Joined MSUK, but seems a bit quiet. Looking for a FG Monster beetle.

I'm not saying anything... but why leave it in an open car park overnight in the first place? I get paranoid enough at leaving mine only 'worth' 2k even with me close by.
