Evenin'

Just had an offer accepted on this little beaut.

Pick her up in the next couple of days.

My first car.

Thoughts?

That looks very nice and an excellent first car. Good luck with it.

WHS. Just don't chav it up.

[John Laverick]

Lovely stuff! I used to have one for a while [as did my brother] and really enjoyed it!

[Ron Burgundy]

How much did the insurance do you in the end?

bloody hell! Thats nearly 10 times what my first car cost to buy.

Nice car though

[randomman]

Thats dedication for you.

Although a banger for a year may have left you less... bankrupt!

[rsstman]

looks very nice, great for a 1st car. insurance sounds rediculous though.

the steel wheels are awful.

rubbish!

the steel wheels make the car for me

please leave it standard or it will begin to look like a chav wagon.

very very nice first car, be you're well and truly chuffed!

[John.]

definitely. obviously someone doesn't 'get' a rallye.

[rsstman]

i do "get a rallye" i dont "get" steel wheels though.

i much prefer the look of the one with the 205 1.9 gti alloys in white.

i am not alone which is why most people put alloys on there, wider and lighter and look much better.

[Baked_bean]

Gorgeous, i wish my first car was anywhere near that nice.

[kik1.6se]

Looks a nice one.

Its a great first car, they handle really nicely, watch out for lift off oversteer though.

Has it got the optional power steering?

Keep the steelies, I love the look of them. Plus my old S1 rallye handled much, much better on the steelies than the heavy 15" the previous owner had fitted.

Looks like a very sweet example! Please look after it and be careful

100bhp is a fair whack to a new driver; I remember driving an 8v mk2 golf gti fairly soon after passing and it scared me stless! Still, if you're sensible and respect the car you'll have a lot of fun

[paulrhodes]

Looks great! Cracking first car but please don't get cocky. It's a fun and fast little car for an inexperienced driver and lift off can be quite scary if you aren't prepared.

If I'm not mistaken those wheels aren't the originals... They look like 306 Rallye 15's?
