I think pre-90 car with up to around 97 engine in it.  :grin:

agreed :lipsrsealed:


Oh and think of the favour you paying the environment, keeping the old stuff alive vs. producing a new car :afro:


I don't think a semi will give the same results

Oooh drove one of these badboys back to a client after its MOT 3 weeks ago, it was awesome. So much power, without the drama. TBH you wouldnt know it was a V8 at tickover, but on throttle...  :evil:

Yup, new cars are boring. But........ They dont really go wrong as much as old cars, their heaters work, they have stupidly excellent bits of kit like heated front screens, the diesels are actually worth buying and get stupidly good fuel economy, the list goes on lol  :grin:.

Can you tell I have just worked out just how much welding my mk2 is going to need to get it through the MOT and that it will still be just as cantankerous with its starting and have just as crap a heater, and no radio arial and the perenial winter fog up and the rattly/embarrasing tappets once its fit to attempt the MOT :cry: ???? I realy do love old cars but they just dont fit well with bugger all money lol.

You can buy heated screens for Golf2s and if you replace the matrix on it I suspect the heater will be quite fierce.

When I was running a G2 as a daily I never had any of these issues  :huh:.

Oh and the 110 TDIs seemed to return significantly better economy than the 130 or 140 units, in my experience anyway.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.
