Newbie From Scotland :)
« on: August 16, 2011, 02:31:32 pm »
Hey!

Names Stevie and im from Ayrshire in Scotland, joined up on here since being offered a swap on my current car for a black gt tdi, some research on google landed me here :)

seems a friendly place to be with lots of good info!   :drinking:

Coming from mostly a JDM back ground, here are a few pics of the cars i've owned.

56k Death!  :signLOL:

Livesports Toyota Starlet Glanza V











Blitz Supercharged Celica









Honda Integra DC5















I then gained my little husky pup Suki  :love: so needed something bigger.



So now, the current car is;

Bmw X5 M Sport





I've since picked up a run around so will have no need for the x5 anymore, would love a gt tdi in white but i think its only the gti's that come in candy white?

sorry for all the pics  :laugh:

Cat D really depends on the standard of repair. That car has pretty much every extra on it. If the repair is to a high standard and the price is right then its worth a punt. Just remember that when you come to sell it you will have to sell it cheap as well.

I'm not sure but I think that a cat D will be slightly more expensive to insure

Waaaahhhhh gobble gobble budgie chatter budgie gobble! Better off with white red is common as horse sh*t in ayrshire. No sure if coco had it aswell, def had a dc5 and managed to wipe out a wall, fence, hedge and 12 trees with it! Very impressive at 140mph. Stevie.
