Mars red in Torquay

Saw a Red MK1 GTI VTT 949X earlier this evening in Abbey Road in Torquay. Driver was giving it some away from the traffic lights :lol:

I saw a black X reg GTI absolutely flying over the ring road towards Torquay the other day! And if you walk along Torbay road in the evenings you are bound to see a young lad fall off his Scooter trying to wheelie off the speedbumps :mrgreen: All good fun!

No neons or bodykits for me :lol:  But I know what you mean. Mostly very small engines too :wink:  Be good to see anyone for a chat and a quick look at their motor if they are down this way!

Sounds good! My MK1 doesn't run yet, but will a slightly battered MK2 do the job? I think it has 'character' :mrgreen:

yeh its not too bad, can feel like you are out on a limb sometimes though.
i know its not as far as cornwall etc, but you tend tend to be abit isolated from "main events"

 i know of a couple of mk1`s in exeter, there is bdnimmo who is a member of the site, but there are a couple more which i have yet to track down properly let!
 the search continues!
