Im new

[tastic]

Just moved to auckland and looking for something cool, old and euro! My last 3 cars have been E30s - this time I want something different.

I saw an awesome white 205 the other day on the motorway (2052NV) with a fastfrogs sticker, thats what brings me here.

Look forward to being able to see the rest of the forum.

Cheers.

Anything cool, old and euro in particular?

Good call Tastic! Welcome to Fast Frogs.

If you can handle a E30 you qualify for French car ownership.

Welcome mate! 

205's are good fun, like oversized go karts

As for as French cars go I'd like a 205gti. Can't see any on trademe. What else is french, oldish, cool and euro?

Otherwise mk1 / mk2 golf, e28, e34, 2002, mk2 escort (ok escorts arent euro). Basically anything with a square grill and round headlights now I think about it.  

[K-Bar]

correct me if im wrong but thought escorts were english?

some pretty good choices there. there is a mk1 golf gti on tm at the moment but if you have some mech know how there is a renault 5 gt turbo that needs a head gasket.

i desperately want both but would be nice to at least see someone on here get em

also welcome man!!

[tastic]

Holy wow, I've been scanning trademe all night and never saw that gti as it does not contain the word 'golf' anywhere in the auction.

re Escorts; I don't really know tbh I just think they are cool.

Thanks for the welcome

Forgot to mention it but the car I REALLY want is a VW type 3 squareback! But they are hard to find.

Buying a 205 GTI can be frustrating - some weeks there'll be 5 on TradeMe at the same time, and other times, it can go for months without one coming up. Good GTIs come to those who wait. I'm impatient so bought my second 205 GTI within a few weeks of the first.

british cars aren't usually seen as euro. they're a failure waiting to happen all on their own!
