hello- a bit about me
« on: 19 February 2007, 12:47 »
hiya,

im new to this forum so be nice!
Im female, 22 and live in the NE of England. I have had 7 mk1 golfs, 5 mk2 golfs, 1 mk3 golf, a mk5 polo and a seat cordoba so know a little bout VWs.
Im currently living with my bf who has a mk1 golf project and a mk1 polo.
Ive been into VW's since I was 16 and go to alot of the shows and meets, my favourite being GTI International.
Im a member and moderator to another VW forum and am joining to meet new people and hopefully attend a few more meets.

Here is my current everyday driver/ project. She is a 1991 1.6 Driver 3dr in Pasedena Blue. (The BEST colour!) I bought it for £250 with MOT and TAX and have so far changed the wheels, grille, lights, audio and had a slight front ender with a porsche, hence the big bumper. Future plans are to colour code and get on the 2 big bumpers, lowered 60mm, refurb my speedlines and fit them, GTI interior, partial respray, 2.0 bottom end, GTI cam, weber carb and stainless exhaust! Got a fair way to go!

Anyways, if your still with me, hope to chat soon.  :smiley:

Hi and welcome,

Lol, well at least you have a wide range of experience, be interesting to see the mk1 golf project and the polo, maybe post a few piccies up in the readers ride or projects section.

Hope you have a good time around here

hey, well im not a mackem, geordie or whatever, im actually from Kent! lol
I moved up here a year ago to live with Steve but shortly we are going to move back down coz im miserable up here.  :cry:

I have had 14 cars, well more actually coz some havnt been VAG but only 1 has been written off, that was my mk1 1.1, she was a beauty but unfortunately i hit her up a curb going too fast round a corner and the wishbone bent and cracked the chassis  :embarassed: still 1 outta like 20 cars isnt bad! The rest i just get bored of, i could show you pics of all the cars ive had but that would take forever so here are a select few of my favs!

Steves mk1 project (soon to get its respray in black)


the mk1 polo, which is for sale and going cheap to whoever turns up with cash!

(ps. it now has pirelli P slots on)

the mk1 i wrote off :(


me hugging my driver! lol


my fav car of all, the 8v



 and my B reg 1.3 which i spent like £2k on!


i have also had a 16v mk2, 2 1.5 GX mk1's, another driver mk1 and a few others.

Will make a project diary when i get the pics together of my current cars-

thanks for looking!
