Thanks JV
First thing I say is I have to applogies for any spelling mistakes or sentances which do not make sence, but engish was never my best subject.
Bit of Background.I have been a fan of the golf for many years (my friends and family would say i am more obsessed) Even though I have only got my car licence at the beginning of 2006 the list of cars i have owned is strangely high.
My first car was a Series 2A Landrover, also at the same time I had a Series 3 Landrover. After awhile of not bothering to get my licence I had to sell them when i left for uni. Next came a Mk1 1.0ltr for £200, which became my mothers car when her broke (then it was sold on to a mate who was going to do it up but so far done nothing, so i may get it back) The next car (bearing in mind i didn’t have a licence) was a MK1 1.8GTi :smile: which got it cos it was a deal! but again i didn’t get to drive it much as no licence, so my brother used it until he got his VR6. Sadly the MK1 had to get sold when my landlord said it had to go or he would have it toed away, what a total .... (fill your own word here) but happily it went to a guy who refurbish car, who i bumped it the other week and found out he had fixed it up and sold it on (I want it back
)
Currently I own a Golf MK2 Driver 1.6, I bought her in December 2006. I saw this Golf on ebay and it was not very far from me, but it only had 2hrs until the auction finished. As I had no money i had to call around to get some, my mate, god bless him, said he would give me the money i needed. I won the auction with 2 seconds to spare with a bid of £300.01
The reason I went for a driver was I thought the insurance would be too high for a GTI for a recently passed driver, but as i am now 25 there is not much difference, GUTTED!
The Driver was in ok condition, some small bugs which I plan to get fixed, and this just takes time and money as I am sure you all know. I put the Golf though an MOT and it failed due to it idling too high and one rear brake hose was not in good shape. So they were fixed and she was on the road.
Here is what she looked like when i got hold of her.
