Deposit on my VTR!

[SimbaVTR]

Well, I've looked EVERYWHERE to find an un-ragged VTR and not to my surprise; it took a while.. But 2 months later, I found him! (I know most people call cars 'her's but this ones a him :p) Browsing on AutoTrader and PistonHeads (as ya do). It popped up, a TwoTone (WOOP) 110,000 miles (Yuck:n:) 2001 VTR. I was hesitant, I really was buuuuut, I phoned the guy up and said reason for sale blah blah blah. 15 mins later i'd arranged a viewing for in the next hour. I finally got to his house in Chelmsford (after getting lost numerous times) and there it was.. Simba :oops:. He .. Just .. Looked .. Amaaaazing (Im a HUGE fan of TwoTone). I looked around it, no dents/scratches/tyre wear; I was shocked, this was better than any other viewing had gone.. I asked him to open the gateway up (fingers crossed for no oil to be pissing out of anywhere) -The Bonnet opens- and .. nothing. Absolutely NOTHING! I couldn't believe it.. Could this be the one?? He then said "Want me to take you out in it dude?"; "Does a bear shit in the woods?" I replied .. "Ofcourse I do". We pulled off (Oh yeah forgot to mention the interior is MINT standard but, MINT) It seemed a lot more comfortable than the last VTR's i'd been in. The roar from Simba was just perfect. I think I've found him I was thinking to myself.. We got onto a little road he called "THE road" (Original eh?:geek:) Pfft.. He then goes "I don't normally take "her" (Thinking to myself it's a HIM called Simba) (Then remembered to myself it was still his car :fcuk:) over 3,000 revs I was like, Dude.. are you for real. He was like yeah but you seem like your interested.. (Bearing in mind i'm sitting there hosting a semi with my tongue on the floor from the beauty of this car:zainy:) "Yeah I replied, It's not bad I guess" and then he replied "Not bad?" A BAAAAANG he tickled that throttle and WOOOOOSH (sorry for the effects :oops:) He was absolute MONSTER of a VTR.. It was standard in an Un-standard way.. Rahhh! Anyway, we got back to his; I asked to check the history etc etc. I got a hpi check (£21.95 later :wall:) I then put my hands in my pocket and said heres a deposit, dashed 300 in his hand and said, Ill come to pick it up next Saturday big man. Thank you SOOOOO much. He was like "dude, look after her". I replied "dude, it's a him now" - "His new names Simba; hear him ROAR". and there ya have it. I'll post the pics off auto trader in an album.

So i'll be picking him up next Saturday :detective: :y: :drink:

Btw all, my names Charlie but; call me Simba. :)
Nice to meet you all.

Looks in good condition, but to be honest mate you can find a lot of good conditioned VTR's for around £1500. I wouldn't of bought one with 110,000 on the clock I wouldn't buy a Saxo with more than 80k. Good luck with it dude!

[carlsmith715]

mileage is nothing really if its well looked after in my opinion

Aha! You know that .. :clapping:

I need to find out what colour code the bottom tone is as i'm thinking of matching the alloys to that colour although it is a nice contrast having Silver, Grey, Silver but I dunno. Any ideas?

[VillicusVTR]
