If you ever think about going to a VW meet, let me know and i'll be there. - I would love to see what the car goes like with a re-map (I really regret not getting one when I had it!)

lol the saph was lovely never saw rain only had 62k on it aswell and was very mint,would love to have the golf as a second car and totally go to town with it and turn it into a 350bhp gt30 rebuilt engine/19's/air ride etc but the reason i bought the car was to get a very nice everyday car and just enjoy it,mod it as and when and slightly improve what needs improving ie....18"wheels/nice suspension drop/subtle interior mods and keep it as clean as i can and save some £££££££ :grin:...............just went to the VW dealer to get some new underbonnet bits to replace the dirty rusted bits :grin:, parts man came out and his jaw dropped when he saw the car!! when i popped the bonnet he couldnt believe how mint it was lol he got 2 techs/2 parts blokes out to have a close gander lol :grin:
