That looks V nice. I really like Indigo Blue.
-
Nice one mate, where you buying that from?
-
Guy in Bristol - classed as a trader but deals from home.
Went to see it this morning.
its a GT TDI 130 :wink: 56K on the clock, two new Michelin tyres, cambelt done about 5K ago, upgraded 16inch alloys, Air con etc etc.
Really pleased - pick it up next week - can't wait though!!!
Anyone want to buy my MK2!!?? :wink:
-
Nice one mate, get it to newport meet next sunday :cool:
-
i would if it wasn't my girlfriends birthday lol :wink:
Will def try and make the next one. Been very lame and haven't been to one yet :embarassed:
Is there going to be a rolling road day this year mate??
-
ah the eagle has landed! nice one! :cool:
did u manage to haggle him down a bit?
-
a bit but couldn't haggle much as EVERYTHING had been done - i.e. cambelt, new tyres etc. Its got a 12 month MOT and is taxed until July this year
Got him down to 8200 and he chucked in a 12month warranty.
To say I'm chuffed is an understatement!!!
Also - my girlfriend's mum has come in form the pub and reckons she may have sold my MK2 :smiley:
Tidy :cool:
-
result!! i am not jelous in the slightest, honest :rolleyes:
i want to upgrade to a mark 4 one day, when i can afford it, but on that day satan will be skating to work, coz i am poor!
-
thats really nice buddy
you sound real happy with it and you aint even got it yet :grin:
-
Looks very clean and tidy - and so much nicer on the 16's than the standard avus wheels.
Seems like a decent price for a quality car
-
cheers for all the positive comments guys :smiley:
Charri - well chuffed with the wheels - not a single mark on them!!
thats really nice buddy
you sound real happy with it and you aint even got it yet :grin:
I'm over the moon!! I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve - hardly slept at all last night!! This week is going to seem like THE longest week ever lol :smiley:
-
looks lovely I like the indigo blue, looks great with RCCR rear lights!! :wink:
-
the colour is ace!! Looks black in some lights and purple in another. Well pleased cos its different; not silver or black which most of the tdi's seem to be........
Why can't it be friday????? Will have a nice journey back too to really put it through its paces :wink: might have to borrow someone's speed camera detector though!! :grin: :grin:
-
looks well nice mate!! :cool:

Try and get to one of the meets mate, the shows will be starting soon. Hopefully there will be a Rolling road if we can get about to organising one :embarassed:. There is on eat TSR in Bridgewater on Sat if you fancy going down
-
Oooooooooohhhhhhh shiny new car!
-
well picked up my new motor today.....
what a palaver!! get to Bristol to find out the bloke has very kindly put £15 quids worth of PETROL in the tank!!! :shocked:
Luckily he only drove 200 yards from the petrol station to the train station. Great. No problem the bloke said, i'll nip home and get my low loader, put the car on it and drain the tank!! So off he goes and returns 15 minutes later in a BMW. His truck wouldn't start!!! He phoned his missus to go and meet him at home to try and jump start the truck. At this point I'm not exactly over the moon!! What a start to owning the car!!
HE drops me and my girlfriend to do some shopping, kill time, whilst he jump starts the truck and sorts the mess out!!
45 minutes later he phones to say - the petorl is coming ouit!! 20 minutes later he picks us up and i sign documents etc and complete the deal!!
THen drove home and wiped the smirk off many a BMW and Merc driver as i tore past and left them for dead!!
I'm ONE HAPPY CHAPPY!! And my birthday is ending quite nicely :smiley:
-
Glad you like it. How come these don't have climate? was it an option?
-
yeah climate was an option. doesn't bother me tbh as it's more expensive to replace should it go wrong!!! :wink:
only options i can see where the CD player (only single though; tight wad!!) and upgraded the wheels to 16inch Montreal's and metallic paint!!
already thinking about changing the stereo though purely cos i want something that can play MP3s
-
cool glad ur happy with it
my golf is ipod ready its got a tape player aswell as a cd player :laugh: :laugh:
-
:cool:
i don't have an Ipod though.......and I don't actually like them........ :undecided: crap battery life....... :lipsrsealed:
-
:cool:

True, there are so many better and cheaper alternatives out there. iPod is just a fashion accessory really.
-
The ipod has better battery life now than it used to, plus it charges in the car while connected to your stereo anyway :shocked:
You were dead lucky with the car mate, usually petrol in a deisel engine is v.bad news and lots of money :cry:
Glad your happy with it and look forward to seeing it :cool:
-
Put £1.50 in my tdi the other day.. started to worry so stuck £30 diesel in to dilute it and it did the job :grin: Wud have been gutted hadit not though!!
-
glad to hear your happy with your new best friend! as far an an HU goes, my clarion (cant rememer the model number) plays cd, mp3 and wma. I have 5 CDs with all my music on in wma format and its fantastic. Also - minor detail, can light up i think it was 280 or so different colours so u can have it to match your interior lights. :cool: has a remote as well so your passengers can steal it and piss u off by changin your fav songs over all the time :angry:
-

I'd get a second opinion personally. Stealers will always find something.
-
