Smooth, has grunt, is soooo well maintained you cannot tell her age.
So tired now... done a total590 miles today, been sat in a car for 12 and a half hours.. ooh my back, more at the weekend and pictures too.

I ffel like some sort of rich barstewart.... which I am not
gawd... the CS looks class.... the faff looks 'good' tooo
I dunno
honest at the mo the CS wins!!
Do not quote me
I am *BLEEP*ed?? :)
-
you speak the truth old man about the wisest words i've ever heard you come out with haha
-
hi paul... crossed posts there?? good site gave me a warning that someone was posting as i posed ...1p/day =100yers to get value for money...my ma is 92 and therefore out of the equasion!!!
-
haha i'll also use yours and her pension towards a deposit, how is mum after the last episoid when i was speaking to you last
-
cool so the kias gone at least weve got the friday night sessions :)glad you like the cs jeff they are a lovely motor :)
-
welcome to the world of the 1great5 jeff 8)
can't wait to see some pics of your CS, what colour is it btw?
one day i too will have a 205 and a 1great5, rather than a mk3 astra with a cracked windscreen and a blowing exhaust and a half re-built 185 ;D
chuffed for you bud ;)
-
:) chrees its friday.. back from bar and @glowing@ when I sawed the CS on the street as I walked rounf corner.. paul.. love you and I am happy now...jackel.. CS is 'spot on'.peter. I feel for you.. CS is teal and do not rush into the 205 purchase"!!
I will have a more defined reason two days after the match
-
i'm not gonna rush into 205 ownership jeff.
when i get a 205 it's gonna be my daily drive/nice clean motor and my 185 is gonna be my beast/toy ;)
-
good thinking there peter that was my plan but atm looking for a d turbo 306 as my new runaround looking at one on the net here in redcar if anyone is near that would want to have a look at it for me, before i fly over there to get it so i can start putting the pennies away for the rebuild of my CS so me and nijel can compete for the quickest one haha cause we all know the 185's are the bestest hehe
-
no questions.. 185 rule.! 8)
-
never a truer word spoken silver 8)
there does seem to be a bit of a 1great5 revolution rising at the moment.. :)
-
Redcar is Noshers hunting ground is it not?
-
yeah it is jeff insanity (nial) is going to look at it for me before i waste my time
-
Best of luck Paul.
I would have popped to have a peep but Nial is up to the job ;)
-
This again is what the club is about. well done boys
-
Nial is up to the job ;)
That's not what I have heard ;D ;D ;D
Anyhow...this 'ere 1ccrraate5 uprising...it'll never happen. There is no tackle in the world hefty enough to raise a 1ccrraate dive.
1 sex 5's rule the roost as you all know. If there was no such thing as a 165 there would be no such thing as a GT4 and no such celebrity as Carlos Sainz ;) 8) ;D :D :P :-* :-* :-*
-
yeah but Sainz couldn't make the 165 move like he did the 185, hence why an Italian rust bucket namely Lancia (who are they in this day and age) wooped their ass til and real four the 185 came along, up the 185's woop woop, nice CS there jeff health to enjoy
-
oooo - thats nice!!
-
:) yup
-
Did you get it with the TE37s? :o
-
Thats them on it Rob.
I'm actually not that keen on them :)
-
Swap you for my speedlines ;D
-
What is it about these wheels? Lots of folk seem interested!!! Mark the seller did say they were worth 1500 notes with the tyres they got?? I'll look into my options over the next few weeks.
I have so many choises just now. :)

;D ::) i can understand paul_gt4 being bias :P, hence the selective memory of Carlos Sainz campaigning the ST165 for the 90 & 91 seasons...
Fact: Kings Carlos & Moya won more rallies in the ST165 (9) than in ST185 (4)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Team_Toyota_Europe
do not forget the "other" talented drivers Kankkunen and Auriol who also won in '93 and '94 behind the wheel of the 185.
happy motoring Jeff.
-
Who are those girls in your avatar Gary?
I have daughters who look like that but we are TOOOOOO close!!
-
Good stuff Jeff, welcome to the world of real Four ownership :D
-
:) I am a renegade who went faffing before crating and.... I still have to make my mind up but..... a lot of people on here will be annoyed at my final thoughts....
then again???? who else has had the experience... like today I got the faff out... after 3 days in the CS... my gawd the brakes felt poor BUT the acceleration.... oh ... who knows.
Need more time ... or daft offers from a rich boyo
-
ill give you a fiver for it Jeff -= oh and a couple of pints and a bag of chips
-
1500 pints puts you in the right order..... couple of months drinking :)
look at this!!(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/jeffd54/KiagoesCScomes.jpg)
-
I am sure I posted this recently but it is now time to advise you all how I feel about each car.
Been alternating the daily drive, now that they are both sorted.
I will go and compose myself :)
-
faff as daily driver for me, and keep the sainz as a weekend or good day motor
-
Cannot make my mind up!
CS is GREAT about town, low down torque, fast as f <40 and then tails off. What grunt! Rolls about a bit on corners (50 profiles on) not so direct on steering.
205 is so more refined, cruises great and the 60< is out of this world. Sharp and defined.
One has to go though! cannot afford 2x200 tax & 2x300 insurance!
20<22mpg from both :)
need 40mpg for my works runnabout and maybe a cabbi for summer?... blahhh
