Swap anyone? :)

[Insomnia]

Ok, this is a bit out there but I am thinking of scaling down from the Brava. Yes I was saying about an HGT before but thinking about it, I'd prolly be happy with a 1.2! Performance not really an issue as I'm thinking the coop ticks that box.

Essentially what I'm aiming for is 3 doors

Anyone want 5 doors and would consider some sort of swap/exchange?!

1999 TD100 MK2. 55k ish miles on clock. Regularly serviced. Cambelt done last March. 2 blue, 1 red key. Alarmed. Black rear spoiler. Bodywork good, blah blah blah. MOT Nov. Tax due end of july but I'm aiming to renew if required. It's a known BOO car and I'm sure some of you know what I'm like with my precious motors

One thing I will say, I'm not really after a project car so is got to be a fairly good state to start with!

Brava: Mar 99 1.9TD / 54,500 miles
Coupe: Feb 97 20V N/A / 132,500 miles

fancy a 20vt... it can be as slow as you want!!

Come Join the 5 pot club! Almost standard Mk1 HGT 73k - 16mpg!!

Your sig puts me right off the thought I'm afraid Tommy 16mpg?!

Oooft. 16MPG! :| and im moaning about 40 here, due to the current price of petrol. lol!

That brava looks stunning, you sure getting rid is the right thing to do? I'm sure someone will snap it off your hands tho.
Out of curiosity, what mpg are you getting with that being the diesel?

 

[Insomnia]

It really does fluctuate, but so does my driving. Taking it easy everywhere and being sensible will happily return low 40s. Be late for work and it'll drop to 33-34mpg.

Not the most fuel efficient for a diesel but I have to say its the most efficient drive I've experienced in a Bravo/a. Gears are nice and smooth, it sits on the motorway at any speed without showing any signs of instability or discomfort and it brakes very well. Tight and 'new-like' really.

For 100bhp it has some poke, ok won't outpace a Ferrari but it can pull when required!

[Tommy K]

it can more than 16mpg... but I don't seem to be able to do it very often!! lol


£10 gets you about 60miles I think... can got you only 30 tho also



You don't buy a 20vt for MPG, you have one for smiles and to be part of BOO


I'm guessing it's a no still tho lol

Fancy a 1.4?

 

[Ian]

I'd rather have a 1.4 Lawn-mower They're dreadful engines with a terrible reputation.

Doubtful, but Insy is the guy who'd be doing it with you (Or am I just speaking on his behalf? lol)

 

[Kris]

now now ian... pipe down

 

[Ian]

My bad

I had a 1.4 once.

Then a TD100...

Then a 1.2 16V

Then another 1.2 16V

Then I got bored

 

[Kris]

what you got now ian?

 

[Ian]

2006 BMW 318d - 121bhp.

Slow as f**k

 

[Kris]

still a good lookin car though

 

[Ian]

I agree.
50MPG, £120 to tax and the onboard computer says the rear brakes need replacing in 46,000 miles (yes, forty six thousand) - They were last replaced 30k ago. lol.

But honestly, slow as a donkey.

.. At least this is keeping Insy's thread alive, lol.

 

[Andy]

if only i had something to swap!

whoever gets the deal done will have done good, insy's motor is extremley tidy, well maintained and shifts aswell when needs be!

Andy_sx (dont fancy an alfa 155 thats a bit pink and has about 4% of the lacquor left on the roof do you lol)

 

[stephen01]

Thanks for the kind comments

Gaz: Thanks but sounds a bit too modded for me.
Kris: Thanks but the 1.4 is not an engine I'd consider.
Stephen: As much as I secretly admire the rat, its heading the wrong way in size for me
