Our run around car and is lots of fun and used for taking the bikes!!

Bit smaller than most the barges on this thread.
My first ever company car was a 205 GTi - lots of fun it was. Replaced with a Honda Civic VTi which was quite a lot faster and was until recently still the fastest car I'd had.
In the last couple of years I'd dropped to running a 1.2 Honda Jazz as we needed something cheap to insure for my daughter to learn on. When she passed her test and took the car my wife and I had a difference of opinion on what to replace it with. SWMBO wanted a Porsche but I wanted a fast estate car (a 2.8 V6 turbo Saab) so I could get the bikes in the back. We compromised on a little Merc C230 Coupe which is nice enough and reasonably quick.
Currently I'm thinking about persuading SWMBO to take the Merc as her own car and buy an RS4 or RS6 estate, although I'm a little concerned about the potential fuel bills! Having said that I was in a hurry on the way home yesterday to get back in time for the TDF highlights and the Merc reported 13.8mpg for the trip!
Here's a rather poor iPhone image of my Merc, proving rear wheel drives can be driven in the snow (although it did require fitting of the autosocks to get home that night):
Thankyou Fudd, very nice EVO btw!
It's not a JDM but has 225bhp as the EMS is completely remapped to suit the different in-take and exhaust manifolds. The cold start is taken direct from the civic. It also has the 6speed box, thankfully! The VTEC point is lowered to 4250 and the limiter set to 8600rpm. It's a 2005+ engine so has the lighter fly. It also has a race cat fitted and baffled sump.
epicsteve your Compact looks classy yet stealth. What engine is it?
...slippy diff?
What a daft abbreviation. Standard diffs are 'slippy'! You mean 'limited slip'.
I was quite into trackdays before i sold the car and got back into biking, mostly due to the time issues with a trackday car.
wont be to everyones tastes but i loved it, built for handling and speed (and there was alot of that) not looks !! lol
epicsteve your Compact looks classy yet stealth. What engine is it?
There are two C230 engines, but mine is the 2.5 V6 (the other is supercharged 4-cylinder 1.8 I think).

What he means is "I know **** all about cars and I think Jeremy Clarkson is humorous."
My Fabia, currently on the A8 monoblocks, have also got a MK1 Polo and a Scirocco MK2 running a 2.1 16v on Jenveys and DTA management, or it will be when I finally finish it.
Yeah I like wheels
found this in a farmers barn to do up and sell.
Kept this 67 Mustang for a few years
We have a car we use as a tool..
