Title: Dream
Post by: AlanD on 18 April 2009, 11:26
I had a dream last night that I bought and Oak Green MK2 to use as a daily and kept the MK5 for weekends. How weird is that . . . .  :undecided:

Easy! Keep the MK5 as a daily driver and use the mk2 for special trips at the weekend. Keep it polished and locked away and never drive it in the rain.   :grin:

Prefer my cars colour over Oak Green :D

Tho I understand the wanting modern comforts bit, the hard suspension is hurting my back  :undecided:

lol the suspension in the the MK5 GTI isn't exactly comfortable to be fair :(

If it wasn't stupid expensive for me to insure a car I really would have a MK2 on the side. I officially hate insurance companies :(

its good to be old,

but alan - if its just a Weekend Toy - classic policy with VERY limited mileage is the way ahead  :wink:

Well, it would be just for weekends, I put down 5k a year as I would want to use a bit lol.

To be honest I really dont think I have the money to have both :(

Aon charge around £200 for 6000 miles a year. I just got my driver insured for £127 with unlimited mileage!

Yeah, but my insurance is crap because I'm young, which quite obviously means I'm a crap driver so have to pay lots :(

how the hell did you get insured on a mk5 with mods declared then? as soon as you mention a remap you'd send insurance companies running from you.

Not really, although (obviously) the price went up.
