Title: Soon to be Mk3 Vr6 owner.....
Post by: Din on 05 January 2009, 22:56
Hi there peeps.

My name is Dan aka Din.
This is my first time on a Vw forum.....please be gental  :grin:
My spelling and grammer are rubbish so please bear with me  :wink:

Right, i work for bmw (tech) but trained with mg rover back in 2002, i still have two rovers at the moment (416 and 620ti).
I love my 620Ti, for those of you that dont know its basicly a honda accord with a rover t series turbo engine putting out approx 200bhp, but i seem to be fixing it every other weekend......i have done 3 headgaskets (oil leak) and rebuilt the gearbox this year along with cv joints, clutch, slave cylinder, you get the idea.

So the time has come to get rid of my pride and joy, anyway i am replaceing it with my brothers old Golf Vr6 as he just bought a mk4 r32.
The Vr6 is a late 1997 3 door in black with full black leather, air con, and 135000 miles on the clock, it drives well although has a few bits that need doing (i will be asking questions in the relavent areas).

So thats me really, almost 24 1 lad almost 3 year old, 1 due about now, married and absolutely obsessed with cars  :laugh:
