I thought I come over and say Hi, we have just bought a NB but unfortunately it won't be built until April...

Spec:
1.6 luna
Deep Peral Black
Winter Pack
Weather Pack
Air Con
Folding Door Mirrors
Rear Tint (Privacy Glass)

Can't wait we are part-exing the Renault Laguna 1.8 Dynamic thingy for it so we can bat around in something a little more interesting, first proper brand spanker we have had.....the missus will be registering on here in a short while as well but I am as always hogging the laptop ;)

We are fans of all things VW and have until now only driven around in older ones, I love the shape of the new beetles, I have ever since they came out and now we are getting one [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Cars, currently we have 5 in various states of repair plus the Laguna we are PXing..

1973 1303s Convertible
1975 Danbury Camper
1978 Devon Camper
1969 Vauxhall Ventora (My little toy)
and for some reason we still have the old daily driver kicking arounf 1996 Ford Escort.

This thread needs pics....

Pictures of Ford Escorts and Laguna's aren't interesting enough to be here though ;)

Anyway....Hello everyone!!! [smiley=happy.gif] [smiley=happy.gif] [smiley=beer.gif]

Hi there, welcome to Evvo :)

Looks a nice collection that you have there :) We also have a Devon :) and used to have a Danbury, but the less said about that, the better :-/

You Bug sounds like it will be nice :) Air con is a good option - Bugs have so much glass they act like greenhouses - especially in black!

Cheers for the warm welcome guys...

Looking forward to chatting with you all ;)

I have had my orders with the NB, I am not allowed to tinker for at least the first year. *I have a habit of putting turbo motors in cars, here's my last run around before the Ventora...

Thank you everyone, I can already tell this is a really good forum from the welcome that I have recieved.

I am looking at getting some bigger alloys within the first year I reckon, I know exactly what I want but I have yet to track down a maker who does them.

I'd like them to be as much like the ATS Classics as possible but in 18"....we'll see ;)
