Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

On the electric tip.

Looks like they gonna make an electrodick...

Much like the 935 posted here before.

Good luck driving that around saff lahndan

Heh.

No space fo Sainos either!

As I have probably mentioned before, there were quite a few off roaders and their mates who were utter wankers and I would have happily shot for theft and trespass, some of the mountain bikers too.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a rear view mirror camera? They seem to vary in price quite a lot and I am bit sceptical of the £30 quid ones on Amazon/ebay although they seem to decent reviews as well. Thanks so much

Been sucked down the PCP rabbit hole on piston heads and money saving expert where it is torn apart, but lots of people use it to get a car, so surfacing here for a reality check. I’ve seen one and it looks like the right deal for me at the moment. Has anyone got any genuine PCP horror stories?

I bought my last car in the UK on PCP - it worked out great for me at the time (I had recently graduated from my masters and had a full time job but not heaps of savings to buy a car outright).

I spent 10,400gbp with 1% deposit, over 3yrs with a ~6k baloon payment at the end. I think repayments were about 180gbp a month. I ended up buying the car out right at the end and using it for another 3yrs before I sold it when i left the UK.

The deal I got was a bit sweeter as it also included 3yrs free servicing and a lower than normal interest rate (i think it was 3%?)

I'm having a clear out on eBay, it's quite exciting - what do we think this lot will go for?

(I've never really sold anything on eBay before).

Didn't expect to watch the whole thing. Cool car/vid/find.

Cor!!

Thought “nah, won’t be a genuine Mi16”, then scrolled to the second photo...

If that is a series one then it's be well worth restoring. There must be very few on the road in the UK.

Front is unique to mi16

Crashed, rusted and engines for the 205.

Wonder if it has they keypad immobiliser

MI16 and T16 no?

Mi16 engine was a popular period engine swap for the 205gti.

VW Alltrack? Which engine did you go for? How's it feel to drive?

Yeah my mates had a few 205s with an Mi16 swap between them. One of them also had the equivalent Mi16 BX too

Yep, We got the 2.0 TDI, 170bhp with the 6sp DSG.

I’ve literally driven it around town twice so far, but it’s great to drive. I’m not quite used to the DSG or the size of it yet so reversing up the drive was interesting

MI16 was the same block so straight easy swap 120bhp to 160bhp

T16 was a smaller cc but group b rally.

There was a T16 road car, that looked like an Mi16 with a 2.0 turbo

I had a mi16 bx that had had the engine removed and a I fitted 1.9 turbo diesel. Great interior and handling.
