VTS an AX, they are rare and a suprisingly good car to drive.

I have seen VTS supplied and fitted for £1600

Probs best to buy a 95 - 96 1.1 forte (like mine) as they come with all the mod cons like the GT body kit etc but usually tend to be in far better condition that the GT's and GTI's

i can get the engine and running gear fitted for 3ton just need to pick the gear up first!!! how much would a good 1 like urs cost ax???

I bought mine for £800.

I have seen them as cheap as £600!

A mate was selling a gorgeous black 1 the other week for 400 because one of the cylinders was dead

an RS turbo fiesta sounds like a good idea though! but do what YOU want and not what other people say...there are tonnes of different things you could do with small cars and big engines. hope you find what youre looking for......just please dont get a nova

I dont understand... whats so bad about having a Nova???

its a nova! to own one of them you require the following:
a shaved head
a burberry hat
a lacoste tracksuit (jogging outfit - cos thats what it is!)
Then you need to drive around trying to race anyone you see. Theres a lad who lives by me who fits this description perfectly and he drives a Nova!

my ex boyfriend was nothing like this. My best friend has one too! You shouldnt tar everyone with the same brush.

Nova's are always gonna have a scally/boy racer image, no matter who the driver is.

Imagine pulling up at the lights in an AX VTS and killing a festa RS Turbo, how funny would that be, a shopping trolley killing the "ultimate" boy racing machine.

So???

I said in a previous post that I wouldnt get it one, infact I can remember saying that you would only get me in one if it was rather nice.

Does this actually have anything to do with this topic???
Posted By: Towny Re: new car!!! - 27th May 2004 7:37pm
ax 125 wot does ur car come with i.e e/w, power steering???
Posted By: AX_125 Re: new car!!! - 27th May 2004 7:51pm
It comes standard with GT body kit, electric windows, remote central locking, AX sports seats (much more comfy than GT seats) a fairly decent radio and thats about it

For the prices of an AX, its closest rivals dont compare, specially over rated German tanks.

Mine will do 60 in about 11.5, and thats from a (virtually) standard 1.1 engine. For all its faults, it is a fantastic car to drive, if i meet ya some time, i will take you out for a spin innit.

If you get an AX, you will be sorry when you get rid.
