OV9

I don't get it.

A random bloke with a huge workshop I as incredibly jealous of!

He had a thing for small old fiats, had an x1/9, 850 spider and a 126 in the workshop, 90s cinquecento and classic 500, owned an abarth replica original 500, and had a modern panda and 90s Alfa spider outside

Would appear to be an 850 Vignale coupe

Not one I recognise, but looks rear engined and has the right rear lights so could be a coachbuilt special based on an 850, there are several small run versions about so seems the running gear and underpinnings were pretty adaptable.

A strange entry in the spotted thread, but it's quite a normal thing, just friction from the thick gear oil being enough to drag the wheel round.

Impossible.

I like the claws and the silver wheels abouve look much better than the dark ones.

Wish I'd taken the chance on one when they were half reasonable money. Sadly yet another car that's gone the stupids and I'm never likely to own. I still remember being stood filling up my red e30 m3 at a petrol station just outside oxford when one pulled up at the pump next to me and suddenly made ...

If you're not that specific on what you want and buy well you can get to drive lots of cars you might not want to keep forever and make a few quid in the process too, or at least cover your costs.

I like the idea of it, I just can't be bothered selling stuff

Buy one on a 55 plate or older, as most of them seem to be anyway

Yeah that puts me right off There does seam to be some inconstancy with Tesla paint, from my perspective, it’s a tool and it’s going to get abused by other people (car park dings etc) so as long as the external finish passes ‘WBAC’ inspection it’s fine, paint correction, PPF and detailing add nothi...

The problem is often with how they're listed. Some people class a dsg as a manual.

Looks like the autotrader app categorises all 'TT v6' as a manual only model, so the dsgs must come under something else.

You can use clone software, basically load the program, use an adapter to attach the ssd to a USB port, use the software to clone the existing hard drive to the ssd. Turn off the computer, swap the drives over. It can be fussy if the drive you want to copy is larger than the ssd and can make things ...

The photo probably shows something like this USB 3.0 to SATA Adapter Cable for 2.5"/3.5" SSD/HDD Drives, SATA to USB3.0 Cable 2.5/3.5 Inch Hard Drive Adapter Cable 0.5m, UASP Supported (0.5m) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07G86M7KC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_W6AODbG3EB3VK The wide plug is just a combined p...

The V6 was the first VAG DSG - only gearbox available with that engine. I’d not be keen to have a first gen DSG which is 15 years old.

Not true, there are manual v6 mk1 TTs

I used a forwarding site, it's been bought and should be on its way to them. Not heard anything since which is a bit annoying. I'll give it another week or so and start chasing. Both the original purchase and payment to the forwarder are through Paypal so should at least get something back if it all...

Ours has definitely got more friendly again now the weather has turned

You're going to have to see if it works!

My mum can remember it working, but it takes two weird size 9v batteries, not convinced it's worth the investment!

Trip to Peterborough today to pick up a joblot of bits I won off eBay. Only really wanted the rear bumper which looked in suitably used but better condition than the one on the car. Also included a spare starter motor, dynamo, steering column with stalks, radiator and a few other bits and bobs which...
