Hi Guys.
So here is my 2001 Saxo Desire 1.1. Bought the car to learn to drive in and get me through my first, expensive, years on the road.

First thing was to get a set of VTR Alloys, which I think tidied it up a treat!

And that is how the car stands today. Doubt I'll do much more to it, lack of funds and all, and save all my money for something a little more flashy!

Whilst I was learning to drive, my Dad used the 1.1, and liked it so much he bought his own Furio!
With 19,000 miles on the clock it is like new!

The Furio also had a set of VTR wheels put on, again making it look a bit smarter!

I'll update this thread with any progress/photoshoots that happen.

Thanks Guys! The Furio has 1 previous elderly female owner, kept in a garage all its life, only came out in the dry to pop down the shops!

Both cars look in very good condition.

the pic that looks like a HDR, the rear beam looks slightly cambered!

That'll be the horrible uneven grass surface that it's parked on. Parked on the level all is fine. Given the reputation of the rear beams it is checked over regularly along with the rest of the car.

Went out to take some photos of both the cars today at senset for the monthly competition, but it clouded over and ruined that idea!
Here are a few photos my friend and I managed to get:
