Is yours the lowest mileage mk2 out there?

[volkston]

your right conker,

i think it would be best to start another thread with the highest mileage, what do you think it will end up at 300k give it a whirl and we will see what happens. looks like someone outdid me too with a sub 40k mk2, awesome! there is nothing like a tight low mileage golf down a back road forget your modern cars, dull dull dull

forget your modern cars, dull dull dull

amen!

[volkston]

not just me then!!

[Conker]

not just me then!!

Seriously, I drive around looking at boring f##king meganes, MPV's, and vectra's and just think "Why?"   I was worse when I first got the Mk2 - At the time a mate bought a £25,000 silver diesel beemer and I sort of fell out with him in my head for being such a dullard.
 

Sure, stuff breaks on them more often, but it means a trip to GSF (or at the very worst a scrappy), as opposed to driving to the local dealer, connecting it to a laptop, shortly followed by a bum r@ping session when you get your wallet out.


Rant over.

Mine's got about 150-odd K

I'm glad it's not low mileage - I'd not want to drive it if it was!

And clean, original examples should always be kept as such, if you want to modify it go out and get a sub-standard one

could not agree more..a "friend" recently spent £7000 on the new corsa!?! i didnt laugh in his face but i did have a major chuckle when i got off the phone! he wanted to race my 8v, i saved him the embarassement and said my car sluggish atm

I payed £450 for my golf, and it all round its a much nicer to drive, and a hell of a lot faster.. what does that other £6500 get ya, JACK squat imo!

what does everyone else think on this, should i keep this one nice or sell it (but dont tweak it) and get a slightly less nice one and play with that??  or should the devil in me tweak the hell out of it and to hell with the purists??
