well my punto gt is here now, i love it

it sounds soooo nice with the dump valve

lol, what you reckon?

paint work needs a bloody good clean, roof's all oxidised

but it was sitting for a year so expected, but i love it still

its lowered 60mm? and its got 16's on, dtm exhaust, smoothed boot a bit and smooth bonnet, its got a clifford alarm, which is pretty good.

Punto's are an odd thing to collect...........looks nice tho

SchooweeNick · Oct 16, 2006

Did you buy it local beau? Sure I've seen this about before..

Looks good though..

But how many punto's can one guy own? Are you on the road yet?

Matt.. You got the Smart yet?

H2DaE · Oct 16, 2006

Beau why have you bought a GT? Please don't tell me it's to nick the badge and sell the car on. And were you tishing it from cold?

ChrisUK · Oct 16, 2006

Oh god have mercy. Its going to be at least 5-6yr until you can afford insurance for it...... Im 20yr old 3yrs ncb and even on my dads insurance(49yrs old and 32yrs ncb) that car would cost me £1100 a yr fully comp. How much did it set you back if you dont mind me asking as im quite intrested in getting a GT when im about 21 its just so hard finding one that hasn't been molested by chav's

2 cars and no licence?

Jai · Oct 16, 2006

whos opening a book on how long it lasts?

1.8Stilo · Oct 16, 2006

take it back! u wnt get insured on that :nono:

im sorry but your other punto is suited for a first time driver more and the insurance would still be quite high with all those mods

looks abit rough to me and two of the centre caps are missing on your wheels

I'm gunna go with... It'll be left standing for ages, then when he can actually drive, he'll go to move it and oh no... things will have seized/broken etc... and it'll only be fit to be scrapped.

Revving it from cold and while standing will kill the engine, the turbo will need sorting out by the time you can drive it as the seals will fall apart. Basically... I see it as another GT that's destined for the scrappers.

If it survives... I reckon tasteless mods will make it worth a grand total of £4.65.

already had someone out to look at it and they reckon theres nothing wrong with it.

crazydave · Oct 16, 2006

beau nice car but i would be tearin my hair out if i wasnt able to drive it let alone old enough to drive :bang: insurance might be a fun factor for u though

Steven · Oct 16, 2006

My money is on it being stolen.

Jai · Oct 16, 2006

or beau taking it for a sneaky spin, getting caught and losing his licence before he gets it....

Bravo Boy · Oct 16, 2006

beau · Oct 16, 2006

because its a sporting lookalike, only like 9-10bhp below a sporting, and its got sporting interior, there fore, i call it a sporting lookalike

Goldie Punto · Oct 16, 2006

Cant fault it Beau, no wonder you kept it quiet.

Your getting as bad as me with all these puntos kicking about.

You aleady know what i think about you keeping it, but theres money to be made there for sure, i would have a few bits off it

As for the Sporting badge, not impressed
