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... :hug:
I'll have to use some persuasive tactics to use it at night time, lol :chair:

Bonus pic: My parent's car...


:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

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 :)

nice,... don't bother too much with he sharing thing. just start an old car project on the side cheap

Your Parents have a Honda :( lol

At least you and your sister have a Polo :D

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...

nice car, but the polo has got 13 km's in stead of 5 :D

Ooops... :redface:

UPGRADE!!



















Well, I've been looking for these ones for a long time and finally got courage ($$$) to put'em in one of my VW's...

Soon there'll be more... :D

Link broken :(

Where? :rolleyes: :D


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...

oooooh, i like that alot.. can't wait for the build thread

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.

Looking good FDL :thumbup:

Are you on Volkspage.net ?(I am even though I don't speak Portuguese :D ) If so invite some more Brazilian Dubbers here I want to see more Gols, Paratis, Saveiros, Voyages & Aircooled stuff from your end of the world :eek:
