Ok so its only a little 1.4 lx and never going to win any traffic light grand prix but will be fine for over winter.
After 20 mins on the jump leads it finally had enough to turn it over and it fired strait up which aint bad as its been left for the last 3 months in the garage.
So who else is getting there winter toys out with pics please.

whats wrong with using the crx for the winter??? is the 206 not a nicer car??

[Ernie]

you cheeky sod lol.
crx's have issus with salt getting to the rear archs like nova's so im putting her away for winter.

:wtf: really!?

[discoinferno]

imo the 206 is nicer even with the dent i dont see the issue of driving the lhd crx in winter it cant be as nice to drive as the 206

[Ernie]

The crx was a bit funny at first to get use to but its fine now.The reason im using the 206 over winter is because if it does bounce over a kerb at some point i aint going to worry about to much as there are plenty in the breakers yards to rob bits from.

[bazil]

The wife has the 1.4 glx 206, IMO it's a great little car and more comfy than my S3 lol,
I don't do winter cars tho, I used to with the nova but now it's the audi everyday and in any conditions, I love it in the snow.

[Ben]

lol i have to agree when i saw the title and opened the thread and saw the trotters robin lookalike i thought it was a thread saying i have dug the CRX out to use over winter!

[John]

will be rollin in my 1.4 6n polo

[Paul]

Caddy and vectra ftw

[Connor]

Me or the nova are not looking forward to this winter,
gotta feeling its going to be a state come may time :cry:

[L14MNP]

Winter motors FTW. That 206 looks ideal Ernie. It's all well and good wanting to roll in your retro all year round, but when it comes out the other side the worse for wear and the sensible/those that are able to do it folks are bringing their older cars out of the garage unscathed it makes you wonder if it was worth it lol.

Hence the Volvo taking a nap this winter, I've put it through two harsh winters without it even being within 10 metres of a tin of underseal and I just know jack frost will kick it's ar$e this time around! lol

[Ernie]

I know what you mean mate.

[Spudly]

I want rid of my vectra and i want a winter egg tbf lol


Actually been looking on gaybay and pissedonheads for 1400 corsas:eek:

[andy_mk3]

I was going to put my steelies back on for the winter, that was until I realised that 14's don't fit over 288mm brakes :(

I also invested in some off road tyres as well, in initial pic

[vaughanmc]

You'll be sorry one daylol

Winters killed mine;)

It's a car though it's meant to be driven, plus I'm not exactly flush atm and can't afford another car

But it's coming off the road in Jan anyway as that's when my insurance is up and the car needs some work for it's next MOT and I just don't have it in me any more to get it sorted - But maybe one day, time for the K reg to come out and play will happen...

The MK1 won't be out in the winter though, as your right it does kill them but it's good fun :)

[saloonwoody]

the bimmers gonna get it over the winter lol

[Novasport]

Got the Sport and 888 tucked up, will run the 60 plate 118d then swap to a new VW next month for winter. Company cars FTW.

vw fox? lol

[Royston]

vw fox? lol

They'll be good in snow, skinny tyreslol

[MattBrown]

Well im still a bus ****er.

Got a prokart and a minimoto, pitbike, and a nova shell.

Do any of them count?

Being banned sucks lol

[Novasport]

vw fox? lol

Probably, I'm not bothered as long as its cheap to run.
I have a choice of cars at BMW like 3's, X1's & 1's, always go for a 118d as its cheap to run. Mind you the 123d I had last year was fun.

trust me the vw's won't be as much fun lol managers here all have r-line tiguans or passats rich, i quite like the r-line tiguan.

[ste porter]

im looking for a frontera or similar for winter just want something i can give death to through the winter and when ive finished just park it in a hedge and leave it there

couple of hundred quid with 4-5 months tax and test not bothered what it is realy but something big and preferably 4x4 for many reasons will be fine

just dont fancy running my new cav turbo through winter this year
ran my turbo converted gsi 2000 4x4 through winter last year it was the most fun i have ever had in my life in the snow but to be honest it killed it and i dont want my new non rotten one to follow the same fait

[Novasport]

Cheap 4x4? This will be perfect!

[Elstro1988]

I can't afford winter transport so my bog standard pushrod Mk1 is going to be mine...God help me, the trouble I've had with it the last month or so.

Saying that though, on the aircleaner there's a little red gizmo that you can adjust from "summer running" to "winter running"

[discoinferno]

i will use the mini cooper or the trusty vauxhall monterey (will go anywhere that thing) :)

[Ernie]

isnt it about time ernie got a nova????? you know you want another!!!!!
If I had had the cash I would of snapped my old one strait back up mate.

I'm Stuck with my petrol guzzling 206 gti, don't get me wrong i love it but it's costing me a small fortune to run. I am currently looking for a Frontera, since we moved my insurance has gone up so i'm hoping the jump from group 16 down to 10 will save me a little bit of money.
