    Still log in now and then for a bit of nostalgia, and to check if there are any VTS's listed just for the enthusiasts for cheap *dreaming*

    You will struggle to pm him now, he lives on the outer edges of Mongolia living in a teepee build out of braided panda hair eating moss and mould cultivated in his green house made of stacked bottles. If you act quickly you can send a raven with a message as the jet stream will be passing his front door flap in a couple of weeks.

    Still here too. Been popping in and out of here over the last few years to keep an eye on things.

    The Venetian Red Saxo went to the scrap man 2 years ago today funny enough. I've got a gold 106 now that's gone full race car style. I'll get a thread started soon maybe. See how this next lockdown goes!!

    Too busy polishing his Volvo and bumping old posts of his VTS and greetin about polishing that as well.

    Not only that, but he now has a Yellow Seicento, so no doubt that'll be getting the full polish as well.

    Parts of me have died, but there's a little life left in the rest of me.
  16. #16
    Weirdly enough saw the smoothed red saxo on a fast car fb post, then as I posted pretty sure saxo 180 posted too and then I had come on see what's happening too

    I miss my old Saxo. RIP.
  36. #36
    My mate was on here this morning and I thought I'd come back to see what's occurring!

    "Welcome, MikeCracknell.
    You last visited: 9th November 2018 at 21:46"

    I've had 5 saxos, obvs Suki, but she's long gone, and a few other runabouts. Last one went back in 2017.

    Instead, now I just have 3 Fiesta ST's lol!
  37. #37
    Yes quite so, Just go up from sleep and going to sleep again

    Yes very much alive!

    Bought a knackered VTR for restoration a few months back! Was a regular at 106OC about 10+ years ago!
  41. #41

    Yes it's pretty interesting, I miss my 106 GTi but i'd NEVER buy one with a five figure sum. that's just bonkers.
  43. #43
    thats the way of things -- good ones that have no rust are getting very rare
    my son in law has collected 5 106 rallyes and gtis and due to move now needs space
    Idid warn you all years ago to start cllecting good rust free ones as it s the last small sensibly priced car -- like the old mini and they will be collectors for them out there.
    my friends tommy makinen evo6 went to auction last week

    no1 of 50 -- 11k mileage from new --made over 100K at auction
    so lots of money out there looking for an investment

    The price of a TME is scary, could get good one 10-15 years ago for about £5k.

    Wish I had bought one

    Hey GMC what happened your website went down a while back have you stopped trading now.

    I made that mistake, of buying back my old GTi.

    The shell has gone to heaven, but all the running gear bolted straight into my 1.5d shell and it's OSSSOMMMMM

    Wow it’s been a while! How you doing mate?
  62. #62
    I'm new to the forum too! I wish I was a part of this community when I still had my SaxoDD Would have helped me to save time, money and my nerves trying to figure it out on my own.
  63. #63
    Yah, still here, check in once a year. I've had another vtr, 16v converted and currently in the process of forging the engine, waiting on my Tubular manifold and g25-550 turbo. Should be a fun build
  64. #64
    still around! lurking mostly.

    Still have my original Saxo its been garaged now for nearly 12 years.
  65. #65
    How’s it going everyone 😂
  66. #66
    I'm still with the saxo , it's getting a lot more interest now it's back on the road
  67. #67

    Well, I'm gaining 106's again

    About to buy a 1.1... to go with my 16v and my 1.3 Rallye.
  70. #70
    This scene seems to have went very quiet for a few years now but I suspect these forums will start to busy up again. The Saxo's seem to be of a decent price point now but still limited number of for sale ads.

    I see my old 2 tone VTS hasn't been MOT'd since 2015 (S4XOD / SH51ZBZ) so assume it's in the bin now.

    Considering picking one up and seeing if the value rises.

    I see a few familiar names on here from the old SSC days.
  71. #71
    Am alive, I don't have a Saxo Vtr anymore tho I got a Citroen C2 Code.
  72. #72
    bought mine just over a year ago coming from 205GTIs and the drivers forum to this one and this one seemed dead, hope it does come back as its hitting me right in the nostalgia, i assume since facebook came along its easier to share images ect instead of the good old days of photobucket links was a bit of a pain

    Definitely is, shame really but at least the site lives on to look back on old how two posts etc, all be it with many now corrupt or deleted Photobucket links..
