The Eagle has landed....
« on: April 20, 2011, 04:36:28 pm »
Well, heres my answer to helping the enviroment, my new the wife's new i10 Active has arrived today, will be collecting nxt wednesday at 11am.

Its the 1.2 VVT engine which boasts a heart stopping 85bhp  :scared:

Great little car, and perfect for its objective in life for the school runs and town commutes.

The Eddy gets a well earned rest after 3 years of continous running around.

Do excuse the photo's , not the best  :ashamed:

She cost £7136 in total. Free road Tax for the 1st year, 2nd year and on £20 a year. Projected 62mpg, but not expecting that around the town crawl.

Insurance fully comp is buttons. Looking foward to p!iss taking so, lets be having it  :laugh:










Ben seems to like it  :laugh:


Mrs Saint is quite excited too..

Might wanna be careful with the kids. Your son looks like he can reach the pedals!   :driver:

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

My brother has a 10 plate one of these and for the money they're not bad at all, well equipped, cheap and you have the 5 year warranty. If you bought mats they're crap, his were threadbare after 3000 miles!

All you need now is a blue car to be fully Royal Wedding compliant :laugh:

Now who do we know who's just got a silver blue Porsche?  :signLOL:

Are you going to be the first person to do an ED30 engine transplant into the i10?  :grin:
Golf R gone.
