So the Silvia had to go as the wife is nearly due and it wasn't not the most practical car in the world!
It went to Germany about 5 weeks ago and since we have been on the lookout for a suitable replacement. And here it is!

1995
1.9tdi
265,000 miles
Grey with Antracite wheels
Cloth interior
Lowering springs on standard shocks

Plans are to get rid of the roofrack, cut the rear springs to lower it about an inch. Ive ordered a full set of Audi mudflaps and i'm getting full limo tints all round including a 20 inch deep suntrip tint. A kind of felt spec, not to everyones taste but I'm really beginning to like the look now. It's booked to get chipped next week too, might be a little smokey but it should go well then

Opinions welcomed! :)

Leave the roofrack and put the pram up there, fully assembled rather than a bike!!

Left hooker and all. Perfect for having your good arm free to swing back at a crying child. :)

Niiiiiice! You'd fit three babies in there!
Whats the story with that fancy lookin drivers seat?

No, more like it fits the shopping without having bags of shit on the parcelshelf/wedged into the back of my seat/on my seat/in the way of the gearstick/causing me to drive home at 4mph because its scraping on every hair i drive over etc etc :)
What, the sticky out bit? It just moves out, like to extend the seat closer to the back of your knee! Passenger side has the same but if your not as tall you dont need to use it ha

Cheers, we went and looked at 320's, insignia, mazda 6 the audi and the lexus. The bimmer, lexus and audi were the nicest and all pretty much the same but she just preferred the A4 so we stuck with that.

Practicality? You do know I have wooden ramps I need to use to get the 81 off my driveway every morning right? :cool: It takes nearly ten minutes to get the car away from the house in the morning between warming up and getting off the drive!
Yea its a swanky safe car that (fingers crossed!) will do for a right few years. Feckin better anyway! Bm's have the seat thing too, most newer 'sports' versions of cars have them i think
