BLKBUG gone, New Cab in!
Stealth - September 11th, 2005 at 10:21 PM

Yep, the old faithful BLKBUG has been traded for a new NB Cabrio! :P

It was sad to say goodbye to the old girl but driving out in the Cabrio was soon to put a smile on our faces on Friday morning. Kept the BLKBUG plate as a memento or until i sell them :) We did 150K in BLKBUG with no trouble except having to change the original tyres at 130K!!! Bloody cheek of them LOL

The New Cabrio is a dark navy blue metallic with pearl effect and black leather interior, all the usual mod cons as per normal, love it!

There's one that's identical to that that is near my work in Balwyn all of the time, number plates 'togood'. Maybe a little over the top on the plates but I have to admit they do look nice!

I need to get a better job


mscabrio - September 12th, 2005 at 07:56 PM

Excellent choice, don't forget the sunscreen !


nbturbo - September 12th, 2005 at 08:55 PM

That's a beautiful colour-what is it called?? What do you mean with the K's for the tyres-definately not 130,000 and not real good if only 13,000.How's the green one going-is he still happy with it??


vanderaj - September 12th, 2005 at 10:09 PM

That color is Galactic Blue. Unfortunately, VW ended that with the '06 production and replaced it with a slightly lighter blue called Shadow Blue. Get Galactic Blue while it lasts!

I really liked the Galactic Blue. If it had been an option instead of Techno Blue (which is simply too light for my tastes), I would have had my NB Turbo in it.

Where did you end up finding her?nn[ Edited on 12-9-2005 by 65busser ]


KABBIE - September 13th, 2005 at 10:18 AM

Definitely 130,000 km before new tyres - hopefully just as lucky this time!


Midlife crisis - September 13th, 2005 at 10:23 AM

Kool car hope you lot's of fun in it.

Marc


blutopless2 - September 13th, 2005 at 08:41 PM

nice pick up.... should have got a black one so you could keep the plates!!!
:)


Stealth - September 14th, 2005 at 08:46 AM

Y2K, thanks yes the dark colour does get me in..... i like the dark side :ninja: LOL
The Black or now the dark blue has it's disadvantages when its dirty, but it when it's clean it looks the bizz.

NBTurbo, you read it right, we got 130K from the original set of tyres, the continentals were a great tyre and i would buy them again but at about $350 per tyre it was out of my league so we went with the Hankooks instead $120 per.

Now lets start jazzing her up!!!
Thanks for all the positive reply's
Cheers
