[palmer]

thats right, i now own a car.

106 quiksilver

t reg
1.4
50,000 miles (fairly low)
alloys
all standard, looks realy clean and looked after.

£1900.

Something good has come out of my accident i guess. Will be back on a bike asap too though.

Will be picking it up on monday, so i will get the pictures up then.

(its this without the dodgy sun screen thing in the windscreen. https://old.pug106.co.uk/images/frontPagePix/aaron_qs_2.jpg)

And there's me thinking you bought two bikes. Get your arse on a bike, lest ye becometh too soft. Yea, verily.

[palmer]

Will be 17 in december


Gives me a little bit of time to get the car back into realy good condition.

got the car tonight instead of monday.

[Resurrection]

Knowing a thing or two about cars that seems abit high to me for a car thats about 6 years old and needs getting into shape?

its perfect consition apart from rubber things in the front suspension (half hour job to change), new windscreen because it used to have a dodgy windscreen wiper and its scratched it.

other than that its immaculate.

want to buy black alloys, few tarty engine bits. but keep all the origional things so i can sell it on as standard.

[Andy C]

how much??

Yea, get yourself back on 2wheels!! (though sounds a nice car)

these were taken before i spent 4 hours cleaning it

took it to the bmf today, its alot quicker than i thought they were.

im guessing 0-60 in about 7/8 seconds?

get it up to about 5/6k revs and its flying. sounds deep too.

not going out of my way to get into the next issue of maxpower, im just concentrating on worthwhile bits. clean engine, decent wheels/suspension and stuff.

The 106 GTI does it in 7-8 seconds.

Thats what I thought too cagiva geezer.

My sis had the GTI, in black. I loved it. Got to about 70,000 miles though and fell to pieces. It had been meticulously maintained and everything, real shame as I wanted to buy it off her.

Luckily palmer I just think that one was an unlucky car. Just keep an eye on your oil levels, radiator, bushes and bearings and things should be ok. Silvers a good colour too!!

£1900 doesnt seem to bad a price if its in as good cond as you say it is!

Whats the insurance like though

Nice one, I've driven a mate, slightly modded though, they're nice little motors, look decent with a set of 15's on, and lowered, a bit bland standard though. 75bhp is ok, about right for a bog standard 1.4 I suppose, even though my 1.4 is 103bhp. For 1900 I'd say thats a good buy, as my mate paid something stupid like 3000 for his. Its a bloody good first car though, look after it!

Not a bad first car, they're insurance group 5 though and also in the same insurance bracket are pug 1.6's ( the 8 valver's) 1.9 diesels ( and some of the older turbo diesels aswell...).

I'd still take a vw Golf diesel probably if i had to have a car ( although saying that my car's a pug 306... )

[mrchips]

Looks to be in good nick. Try and hunt yourself out a set of 106GTI alloys and it'll look the part.

I like them, but you pay through the roof because it says "quiksilver" on the side and you get plastic arches. They hold their value very well for a >5 year old car.

If you want black alloys go for TSW black ice ones, or https://www.potn.co.uk/ have some nice looking rims in their clearance bit. I'm getting a set of O.Z. 15"s off them soon.

Also aren't they torsion bar on the rear which makes lowering a bit of a headache? I'm not 100% on that though.

Did my mates one through the twisties in my swift the other day, gotta love independent rear suspension

[Icey]
