[JamesR]

Come back to the world of the Saxo, you know you love it ;)

[Mr_X]

Tbh, when ever i have gone back its ruined the dream.

[rushy_23]

Major blast from the past.

Depends Oz, do you feel there is an gap that needs to be filled?

[oz_borne]

sorry i dopnt see thwe point in this thread,.. maybe i am reading it wrong or just being thick..

I just wondered what people's opinions would be on going back to my original saxo!

Kinda like it's a car I know and it's modded like i left it bar the wheels!

I know it's been driven very well by a friend and I know the service history like the back of my hand.

:A:

[Dodson]

I wanted to go back to my first real love - a cherry red GTI.

Got the lad down to like £800 for it, went and test drove it.....broke down on the test drive, i thought 'oh bless it' but then i was like i still want it.....then i went home, had a good think.....and i walked away.....was hardest decision of my life :(

[Bickerton]

Spose it's all about why you got rid of it

[Dodson]

But on another note......i went back to a girl i was with when i was 19 and im 25 now.....and that was a good decision, been going out together 6 month now....

[Luke]

I'd go back Oz - you know it's been looked after by *insert username* as I have forgot it but it was a nice car when you had it and you know it's full history.

Which would be making way for it?

[craig180]

I saw you in the saxos for sale section this morning ;)

Do it if I could find my first saxo (incidentally my first car) and it had been well looked after I'd buy it back

[oz_borne]

LMAO @dodson. I did that too.....now we're married and pregnant!

The reason i got rid was cos i decided i wanted diesel. Now i've got a cupra and that's the big diesel sorted and my White micra is not quite befitting!!!

Azzy has the car at the mo and is gonna part ex if i don't get it! it needs a few bits like welding and maybe new wheel bearing but it's driven well and will cost a third of what i am actually looking to spend on a car, so can afford to seriously look after it!


Anywho.

:A:

[JamesR]

But on another note......i went back to a girl i was with when i was 19 and im 25 now.....and that was a good decision, been going out together 6 month now....

Now go re-claim your GTI!

[CHIP]

Do it mate. The fact your considering shows you miss the car. Me and a mate were saying last night, despite how crappy built they are, Saxo's and 106's are such addictive cars once your into them :y:

[rey]

I'd buy my first car/saxo (same thing ;) ) back in an instant if I could!

Do it!

[oz_borne]

That's so true. And we're looking at ones close to us anyway.

a VTS is really where i wanna go, but speed is not my thing, i've had a beeza, and A3, and the Leon now handles the speed well so this is purely looks!!!!

MUHAHAHA

Talking top Azzy this week, so will decide later on!

:A:

[rey]

I have a VTS I could be persuaded to part with ;)

[mclarenmatt]

I have a VTS I could be persuaded to part with ;)

Your not liking the VTS much then?

[rey]

Your not liking the VTS much then?

Its too expensive for my needs at the moment, nothing wrong with the car itself

[mclarenmatt]

Fair shout tbh.

Would quite like to get a Zetec Focus myself, fed up with the VTR.

[johnnyg_vts]

i had a 2000 vts, sold it and got a fiasco zetec-s, then a 182 cup, sold that and now have a 2002 vts. seriously good cars, you should come back. i dont regret my decision in the slightest.

[D--R--E--W]

is the bottom of the vt kit a different gold?

[mtpagey]

LMAO @dodson. I did that too.....now we're married and pregnant!

the worlds second pregnant man... this had better not be the latest craze


i'd say go for it, if theres nothing majorly wrong with it then dont see any reason not to :y:

[oz_borne]

is the bottom of the vt kit a different gold?

Too right!

I did that when i first had it. and lowered it 40 on 16s.

He's put charcoal VTS wheels, lowered 60mm, and VTS interior, and straight through Magnex also replaced a door strap and wheel bearing and clutch too.

But for a little under a grand it's still a bargain run around!

:A:

[Predator_R32]

Hmmmmm if you have the money then do it oz but then again you have a leon and er indoors has a micra what more could you want in car selection lol

[Graeme]

i would do it

if i could buy my old blue vtr back i would

[leeroybrown]

I think you all need your heads seeing to!

[Graeme]

I think you all need your heads seeing to!

and why is that lee?

[Mark51]

I have actually been looking again OZ, i know how you feel.

[leeroybrown]

and why is that lee?

Cos once you have had something better, its daft just to go back to one. I had a bash the other day in one, defo did not feel the love like i used to

I have actually been looking again OZ, i know how you feel.

OMG!

[Graeme]

lee its not all about speed though

[leeroybrown]

Who mentioned speed, I said something better.

And yes G is all about pooooooooooooooooooooooooower :xmas_mrgreen::xmas_mrgreen::xmas_mrgreen:

Merry Christmas!

[Graeme]

Merry Christmas!

i know you lee thats all :P

power is all good but when theres nowhere to use it, its poo, the amount of times i have nearly got caught speeding for a few secs madness is just :homme:

a car that looks good and is good to drive is the way forward

[leeroybrown]

Yes this is true and its not a saxo lol

[mattsteR11]

Oz are you not from cheltenham area?

[oz_borne]

yes, glos mate

:A:

[adam_baker]

mate buy it back, you might regret it after you have bought it, but you will regret it a lot more if you don't :)

[mattsteR11]

Lol is this car still in the area? I swear i saw it in cheltenham today

[Rogue_Shadow]

Do it!
Have a nice garage or drive to fit them on
would make a great picture and the car is practically yours!
GET YOUR SAX BACK

[sevenfourate]

mate buy it back, you might regret it after you have bought it, but you will regret it a lot more if you don't :)

Spot on :clapping:

[azzy]

Oz are you not from cheltenham area?

i own the car & i live in glos but spend a fair bit of time over in chelt.

[baker556]

I'd buy my first car/saxo (same thing ;) ) back in an instant if I could!

Do it!

seriously matt, you would buy back the R over the s?

[rey]

seriously matt, you would buy back the R over the s?

If I could, right now, yes, without a doubt.

I'd have it to see me through uni, was so much nicer to drive and look at than my S, far better on the go-go juice. Just much more sorted to my needs...

[iDaNz_VTR]

Do it y0

[Barry123]

Do it Oz man! I can't see a better alternative for price particularly if you're set on going 2nd hand. You know the history, the owners, the car blahdy blah blah. Probably not a good car for putting the future tot in though - congrats btw!

[L33h]

i will never EVERRRRRR go back to a saxo.

[Jscott91]

Do it..., dunno what car i'd change to if i was to sell my saxo..

[Phsyco_Paff]

This thread needs more pics.......

I think that's enough!

:A:

[c8james]

Stop teasing us, You know you will get it back so go buy it. Sounds like it is still a nice car. If you don't do it now before the baby comes (congrats by the way) You never will. They just seem to take all your spare cash.

[luke1988]

buy it back! if not for yourself, then for all of us on sax-p...

[Oli_K]

Haha, sounds like you made your mind up my friend.

Get it bought and get a valver dropped in, you know it makes sense ;)

[oz_borne]

Have decided i will be taking the car for a test day on Thurs to just see how much love there still is, and whether the baby stuff will fit in it. (not our stuff, a mate's) and then will go from there.

Have discussed azzy leaving in the stereo, including sub amp and sony Bluetooth Head unit, and we've come to an arrangement, so i'm pleased as punch for now, so we'll see what it's like when driven!!!!

MUHAHAH

:A:

[oz_borne]

I will not be mine.

Love the car, and it's in great condition, but just not suitable for the expanding family!

But I would not hesitate to go back otherwise!

:A:

[SaxoAL]

Shame mate.
I manage to fit a few baby bits in mine, but its not ideal. Missus is getting her licence as we speak, so she can get the bigger car lol.

I know what you mean about getting old cars back. I would love to have my silver westie back (if it were still in the same condition that I sold it in mind!)

[Luke]

Shame mate, but at least you gave it go before you decided.

The search continues then?
