Cool The Gol is gone...

For those who remember my Gol, well, it's gone together with my mother's one (a 1 litter entry model). The substitute is a brand new 2008 Polo Hatch with a 1.6 totalflex (alcohol + gasoline) engine.
Some pics...

The last one from both Gols:




And some of the Polo:













Told you, brand new (5 km):



The only problem now is that I'll have to share it with my sister...
I'll have to use some persuasive tactics to use it at night time, lol

Nice, looks good! I recently drove a total flex Fiat, still think it's amazing technology. You guys are way ahead on that one!

I think you and your sister are going to the same nightclubs from now on

Your Parents have a Honda lol

At least you and your sister have a Polo

Do the Polos over there come with airbags ?

I've seen the YouTube movie on the Fox from Brazil vs Europe, so unfair when multinational companies take these life saving technology out of cars

ps I would love a Gol even though they are old in architecture terms

Not the best example of a "car" (I don't consider FIAT a car...), but I think that it's enough to known the technology...

Well, my sister is dating for a long time now (she is 4 y/older than me) and just uses the car at night to visit her boyfriend... so it'll be one heck of a good fight... hehehe

I was trying to find a mint condition Gol GT 1986, but it's almost impossible to find one below $5000, so I'll have to wait 'till I've a job and then think about it.

I know Honda's don't match well with VW in Europe and USA, but here in Brazil both company compete mostly in different sectors. The only real "dog-fight" is between Golf "4,5" GTi and Civic Si (and I prefer the Si, at least it's not an older version with little design mods!!).

About the Polo, air-bag and ABS are optional and you would have to wait about 2 months to have one with this config (my neighbour asked for one before me and is still waiting). Brazilians really don't mind about security (unfortunately), but I hope someday this will change...

Well, since this post is up again, I think I'll just put a couple of pictures of my recent project...







It's not a '86 GT like I wanted, but it'll be transformed into a different (better) model...
Soon I'll start a topic about the whole project, just need some more time to inspect some legal stuff about modification, etc...

Sometimes I think it's sad that Europe didn't get the BX chassis cars, even though I understand why VW didnt bring it over. It's just the longitudinal setup that thrills me, the similarity to the B1/B2 Passat/80 cars.
