lol - cheers JV
obviously got my Dub Rides thread but wanted a place to put everything in a tidy order and also i haven't finished yet
Bit of story first -
Bought in February 2006 from a guy in Bristol for £8200 with 56K on the clock, full VWSH, and had the cambelt replaced at 50K. Pretty much fell in love with it when i saw it and put a deposit down there and then
Full spec:
GT TDI 1.9 TDI with 130bhp and 223lbs ft torque
Electric windows all round
Air con etc etc
only real options that were specced where the Montreal II's wheels (big plus!) and a single slot CD player
Having previously been a lease car it was clear that budget was tight lol
Few pics from the advert and what i took when i viewed it:
Returned the following week which happened to be my birthday - got up early to catch the train and arrived in plenty of time. Arrived to find out the guy had stuck petrol in the tank and the engine just cut out. Fecking great
instead of taking the long way home to enjoy a pub lunch was spent in the middle of Yate trying to kill time whilst the muppet sorted everything out. He eventually got the car on a low loader, emptied the tank and then refuelled it to the brim
So eventaully left having pretty much ruined my birthday.....except the drive home was a lot of fun! Having previously owned a MKII 1.6 Golf it was obvioulsy a big step up but even i was amazed at how quickly and easily the TDI made progress - it surprised a few unsuspecting fools too
Thankfully there were no long term problems after having petrol put in the tank though as a precaution i got the fuel filter changed a couple of days later for peace of mind
