Hey guys, just made my first purchase of a ' Forest Green 96 8v and being mechanically ignorant and generally pretty stupid thought I'd drain a suitable forum of all it's advice and knowledge so I can make the world my own! :evil: or maybe just sort out any little niggles that inevitably will make themselves known now the cash has changed hands.
1st things 1st though, just thought I'd say hi and set out my stall for golf domination.
Ta da.

Welcome Bristol noob!
Ask away mate, plenty of knowledge to be drained from here!
-
Welcome ya Bristolian :grin: I was born and raised in Brizzy for 8 years, now in the deep South of Yeovil lol! Welcome to the site :)
-
I'm from Bristol, now live in London.

Thanks for the welcome guys, nice to feel wanted as I think my missus is on the verge of disowning me as a newly qualified VW geek. I told her where to go!!
Realise my first error as my dub is actually 'Dragon' green not 'Forest'. See told you I was a noob.
Looking forward to 1st proper drive Sunday when the car formally enters my possession and have already scouted my route. Will also give me a chance to assess the rather creaky clutch, hopefully nothing to sinister and I've already been checking the technical pages for ideas of problem - sounds like possibly cable. Will hopefully have some receipts & paperwork to look through as well so can see when last replaced etc.
Phew!
Will have to work on my signature and hoping for a sunny day to get some photos of the newly washed beast itself.

Welcome, bristolians ftw! :grin: I was gunna ask about the forest green... but I thought id leave you alone! :smiley: Ben
-
I'm here to learn man, so question away. Dragon green sounds way cooler anyway. Nice.
-
hello and welcome :smiley:
-
I wondered Dragon Green but though I'd give you the benefit of the doubt lol! :P If you need a signature to be done, get a few good photos together, send them to me and I'll put you one together, I've done literally all the regulars on this forum already (that sounds sick but you know what I mean). :tongue:

Shady which part of bristol did you grow up in boyeeee?
-
Thanks for the offer Shady, might well take you up on the offer. Mind you if you've done most of the regulars I'm expecting you to at least be a gentlemen and bring your own protection.
-
Funny guy Asbo :grin: :grin: :grin: I like you already ;)

Where in the fine city of Brizzle do you reside Mattneck (or do you prefer Beavis)?
-
Welcome Buddy :smiley:
-
welcome :smiley:
-
ahh another Bristol lad safe! welcome im from Kingswood mate
-
Beavis is a Brislington boy.
I'm in Filton, from where I have been known to help poor and needy Golf3 owners.
-
Arr im in Warmley most the time, but missus is in Withywood. Needy G3 owners DH?! Ben

Well, I certainly qualify as the first and almost definitely the second. Not planning to do too much at the moment as brassic, but dash lighting is something I'm interested in sorting out. Maybe match to the exisiting head unit. At college on Ashley Down Rd until the summer (although I'm 32 not a sprightly 17) so not a million miles away from Filton, although my home base is Bedminster - the glorious BS3. Cheers for the offer tho, you're a diamond :grin:
Sorry about that, but I thought I might as well set my horrendous sense of humour stall out early.
