Well well well..
So another little story from me
this time the mojo is flowing big time already :shock:
quick scene setter..
Who remembers my B3 thread - the name more importantly andthe style of the B3.. Yogi - the B3 Wagon.. I said at the time, that B3 would be the next popular wagon and from judging how many now, think I was right!!
Well since Yogi went to his loving new owner, we've had a void in our lives in the shape of a wagon, we tried to fill tat void in the shape of a B4, 1 VR6 and 1 TDI - both werent to be
then along came Tina and she's cool, but still not a wagon - and YES SHE IS STAYING (for now anyway) but made me fall in love with the B2 - had a little flirt with a hatch, but moved it on as couldnt get any vibes from it..
then a for sale advert thats been hanging around for ages suddenly price dropped and I was watching, another price drop.. a few hints later and an offer was made!!
So here we go..
Today was D Day - phoned up the insurance, added to the policy - no charge!! Whoop whoop :hyst :hyst arranged a lift to London, had a 3 mile walk then exchanged 10 purple pictures of the queen and set off
So here he is..
Going back to Yogi, well wendy loved that car, and the name, so meet BooBoo the B2 - yogi's little friend... :hyst :hyst
anyways, enough of the talking - have some pictures!!!!!!
Front View
Interior Shot - now these seats are comfy, drivers seat a little worn, but the passangers is almost like new!
BooBoo getting comfy in the back
Pic of the dented bonnet - not sure if you can see them in this picture, but its dented looks like someone at some time may have slid across the front, Dukes of Hazard stylee
About the worst panel on the whole car - passanger door..
Anyone wanna have a go at reparing it??
Dink in rear corner - will try and push most of it out, but may fill and paint..
Tiny engine compared to the Slamtana's engine bay
nicely lined up side on veiw shot - just perfect for those photoshop rendering - to follow very soon.. :hyst
Then the rear..
think I'll loose the arrow - and yes that is a tow bar :mrgreen:
Uh ho - open boot
Only 1 thing for it...
and with the seats down it'll comfy take a huge fat barsteward like me..
Downsides, other than a few dinks
Short MOT and even shorter tax.
Really bad knocking/graunching noises from rear suspension
Loads of animal hairs inside (wendy is allergic)
Temperature gauge on dash doesnt work
slight wobble on brakes
Very heavy clutch pedal
BUT..
Drove the 70 miles home without a blip and hardly used any juice - for a good 80%of the journey very easily sat in the outside lane of the motorway no problems..
So whats next!!
Well the MOT is due on the 7th - so get it through that, otherwise doa shakedown usage for the next couple of weeks..
and of course photoshop some ideas..
Tina's got a younger, but bigger brother!!!
