I've seen one of the black mk3s but I didn't know that there are two of them. So now we have red, white, tropical blue and black Mk3s... I'll wager light blue is next... I've also seen a white mk1 from time to time. By the way, Goto10, "Learn how to stop being gullible. Send £5000 to Steve in E...

Yup, that was me.

The cars in-line in the three-car pile-up looked a tad comical... just like in the movies. I guess no-one was hurt.

Glad you enjoyed your pint.

Hi, That may well have been me. I do the Dagenham to Norwich run on Friday afternoons and would have been about there on the A140 at about that time. The A140 can be a lovely relaxing drive through the country or it can be the most frustatingly slow road around when the numpties come out to play! An...

Yup, got the gearbox fixed at last.


Came into the car-park and spotted the free space next to Slarty and could not resist the chance to do a formation display.


Take it easy fellas.

Good luck KrisB, I look forward to seeing your results.

I like my caribbean blue 2, but also like them in black, white, and black-over-silver.

Get yourself over to twobrutal.co.uk and book a Mk 1.5 turbo conversion (a Mk 1 with a Mk 2 turbo engine)... then go Evo hunting. Sell the mother-in-law to pay for it.

Oh steve b it's just a bit of banter. Had a hard day? Lighten up matey. Although in respect of your last post I do feel that your orchestrated editing of my "quoted" comments to misconstrue and deliberately misrepresent my intent is very dubious. But hey, that's your choice. I recommend th...

Left me smiling to myself thinking "yet another adolescent who has to resort to challenges in order to gain self esteem".

If the condition is the same and the service history is complete on both (i.e. no major differences), then take them both for a drive and see which one feels better to you. If they both feel the same on test, then choose the one which you like the look of !

are you bipolar?

No, just happy to wind-up the sad and ignorant who have little intellect and resort to small-minded bravado challenges in an adolescent attempt to prove themselves. Seems to have worked a treat.

Have a nice day steve b.

Stop tram-lining? Put it back to exactly standard. Then change one thing at a time, assessing each change in turn. Easy.

p.s. please give the PC anti going fast on the road clap trap up. What exactly do you mean? I lay down a challenge, how about castle combe friday 4th May with bookatrack. See if you and your rev3 tubby can keep up with me in my MX5. You seem to have self esteem issues. Seek therapy. :thumleft:

Anyway, back to the original question... out of the two I would go for the Mk3 as long as it came with a hard top and a proper gearlever (not the flappy padel thing). Then I would be saving for a turbo kit, bracing kit, and some decent wheels / tyres, and maybe a front spoiler kit.

steve b, you edited my comments, so as your comments were incomplete kindly allow me to educate you... MX = gutless (but might have a Mk2 on the twisties, if you are so childish as to race on a public road and don't care about endangering other people with your selfish actions) Mk 3 = gutless and no...

MX = gutless
Mk 3 = gutless and no luggage space
Tubby = challenging
Bike = fast

For £7.5k you can get a decent Mk2 rev 3 tubby and a decent motorcycle. Leave the MX to the girls.

Yeah, I'm sure the wimps would pick holes in it but the real drivers would love it. lol I think the holes appear on their own. No picking required. Yes, I think you are right. They are damn good fun, but even the second-hand ones should come with free RAC membership. Anyway, good luck to them. Hope...

Yeah, I'm sure the wimps would pick holes in it but the real drivers would love it.

Yup: high quality, high integrity, cost effective, readily available spares, and does the job very well indeed.
