as i cant insure the mini unfortunately and really dont want to sell it my dad mentioned to me bout buying somthin cheap and the guy up the road from me is selling a 1997 metro 1.5 diseal i know it would be dead slow but was thinking you could do somthing different with it was thinking a wide set of steelies and lowering what you guys think and any ideas what i could do with it as far as im aware its red
As a wise man(Alan Partridge)once said...."Im not driveing a mini-metro...Im not driveing a mini-metro....Im not driveing a mini-metro".I know it would be different,but dont.
An old retro Austin Metro, with some nice mods yes - a Rover Metro, I'm not so sure. Any pics of example cars? Edit - Coog is on the money with the above Austin Metro!
chicks dig the car !! my mate actually bought a gta metro years ago stolen 3 times and returned each time . Someone of here bought it said he was gonna put a v6 engine in the back , byran or something like that. anyway dnt do it !!
Viewing a thread Giz a go! He's bought TVR heads for the V8 now too and hopes for Circa 280-300BHP when hes done. Suspension is a work of art.
Lad, the Rover Metro Diesels arnt bad at all, but I say you wont get any retro cool points appart from me. If its a 1997 its a Rover 100, and not a Rover Metro btw. BTW, if you dont go for it, would you PM me the details.
metro's are class crack, i bought my mum one years ago for £200 and it went for 2 years with needing nothing, not even oil lol. i dont know how she kept running. was only meant as a stop gap for a week or two lol
ive had three metros but the old shape ones, mad craic if its cheap buy it and stick wide superlites or revos on it, maybe a gta kit, and youll get epic mpg too
I had an MG Metro Turbo back in 1986 and it was a class car and went well, i get the urge now and again for another but they just dont seem to be alive anymore..
My best mate had 2...a burgandy auto 1.3 VP and a white 1.3 MG...when he first passed his test about 18 years ago...they were sheite then and certainly havnt improved over the years!
and why not go Metro? the fella asked a civil enough question,and i'm sure he wasnt expecting some of the smart reamark's old school car's are making a big come back
if it's what you want go for it, As paul has said you'll get alot of smart ass replys on here tbh. Any pictures of it? old skool is the new cool
One thing I will say against the Metro, they are deathtraps. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIs1DaxEcfs]YouTube - Rover 100 Euro NCAP Crash test[/ame] and [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ5kll20FLc]YouTube - Crash test Rover 100 (2)[/ame] 1 star rating, and that was in 1995 when they had to issue a 1 star rating! If I was a young lad like you, id look towards a MG ZR 1.4 or even a Rover 200 1.4 to keep insurance down if you want to stay within brand etc.
