Is your golf your every day car?

[Ninja]

oh god where is the water going now!

I hear that!

[Reasty]

G reg 16v

175k

50 miles a week if im lucky,not a daily,the mk3 does the work,the mk2 does the play! 

In the six years ive had her ive replaced so much stuff i cant even remember,not because it needed all of it but just because i wanted it to be as trouble free as possible and still i carry a spanner and a screw driver in the car at all times just incase.

I dont get to drive it alot but i know its there in the garage anytime i need cheering up or feel going to work is pointless.

H plate 8v digifant

204,000 miles on the car, ~100,000 on the engine.

Minimum 250 a week (used to do about 450)

Model: 1989 8v Digi
Mileage: 112000miles
Miles per week: 50ish
Replacement parts bought how often: over the last year its had a distributer, coil, all service bits brakes n that, some relaysand a few other bits half of these were to find a cutting out fault till i found out water was dripping on the fuse box when it rained so half the parts were not needed

Any other comments: Now when it rains the glove box fills with water so much I could keep a gold fish in there
