he's traded his j reg mk 2 in with a nackered gearbox
for a p reg mk 3 gti 8v......... he only got ?400 for the gti!

his new golf is black 17" tsw evo wheels, hella quad light convertion, a swg front mesh gril and twin serbring exhaust.........

its nice and slow! doesnt beat my 8 valve mk 2!

no not on about him!

one of my mates who use to have a mk 2 8v and now has a mk 3 8v!

its abit slow! i raced him in my mk 2 gti 8v and he didnt come passed me!

i thought they would be fast but......... not a chance!

he came up for me tonight but i didnt go out!
i just cant be bothered anymore! theres nowhere to go all the roads are s*** theres cameras all over the place! and if that didnt bad enough theres too many wombats on the roads! he was out lastnight i didnt enjoy it! its just a drive about on s*** roads!
i dont really enjoy driving anymore! its all hassel!


i only enjoy it in my other friend si's boss's car his
leon 20vt! drives really fast! but he got the car to do it in! it weighs 1800kg! does 0 - 60 in 7.7! supprising when its that heavy but its very stable at high speed!
