What comes around goes around. I sold my GTi to buy the Mini 27 years ago, the only car I've ever regretted selling, now I'm about to reverse that decision

You looking to get another GTi? Those are really nice driving cars.panky wrote: Wed Sep 13, 2023 11:17 pm My Mini Cooper as been sold so there might be a space for a nice BX - hopefully![]()

GTi seats are excellent. Not sure why she had issues. Anyway, I can vouch for a GT. However, I'd really recommend AC in a BX. You can find them (even though they are rare).panky wrote: Thu Sep 14, 2023 9:37 am I would love one but condition is the main requirement ( I don't want another big project) - and a petrol engine is preferable. There's a very nice TGS in Manchester that I'm keeping my eye onThe main issue is still with my wife, she doesn't like them at all and got car sick and back trouble in my GTi
so tweed seats might be better than the GTi type - a nice GT maybe

I find that incredible as the only car of ours that my wife will drive or travel in on long journeys is the GTi - it is so comfortable she says, especially for the long journeys in France we do. We have two modern cars, a C3 and Skoda Octavia at our disposal but she knows what she likes.panky wrote: Thu Sep 14, 2023 9:37 am The main issue is still with my wife, she doesn't like them at all and got car sick and back trouble in my GTiso tweed seats might be better than the GTi type - a nice GT maybe

A Mk1 16 or 19 TRx (TRS, TR..sorry DTR) would be pretty cool.panky wrote: Thu Sep 14, 2023 2:00 pm I agree, super comfy but...........
A nice TRS would fit the bill too. I'm used to driving around in a Morris Minor and Commer camper vans all with vinyl seats and only the heater off valve for any sort of cooling so cloth seats would be a luxury and far cooler than plastic![]()
Honestly I'd buy it if I was in the UK.panky wrote: Sat Sep 16, 2023 11:15 pm I was lusting after Kitches TRS but I think there is interest from other parties![]()
