cheeky b@stard :angry:

big up the '86 dub massive :grin:
-
Most people just don't get it do they.
-
Feckin' idiots would rather be seen driving around in some bland new dung box than a decent car with some character.
-
they wont be laughing in a few years when there crappy plastic cars fall apart,or the hamster thats powering them dies.
while we all cruise past in our with a big smile on our faces! :cool: :grin:

hate new cars!! people allways say to me "why dont you get a nice new car"!!!!! people think there gettin a bargain by getting 2k cashback on a new car or whatever it is, but they loose that as soon as they drive it off the forecourt!! losers :grin: 85 gti :grin:

modern cars arent worth the steam off my turd, 89 GTI
-
haha, my dad said why dont i get a decent new car last night. he wasnt stupid enough to mention the scrapping scheme... but we agreed that, new cars were boring, and for 2grand, what else can you get that is as fast, economical, fun, and actually look nice? we came to the conclusion that, well theres nothing? apart from a golf gti! A williams clio 2 was mentioned but a good one is more than 2k.ah wait, now i want one again...
-
I get the same thing at work.
One bloke said "Let me tell you why you're a c**t."
After he explained why I should chop my gti in for a 150bhp Fiesta ST like his for a measly £300 per month on credit I said to him "I'll stick with what I have thanks. An ST weighs just over a ton so gives 135bhp/ton for £300 per month. My 135bhp gti weighs just under a ton, so gives 150bhp/ton which is why you can't catch me on the M6. And I bought it outright for £300. Who's the c**t now?"
-
haha, does your golf out handle his sh!tty st too? id be interested to know how it fairs to modern day cars... i rinsed my mate in his saxo vts the otherday, was close though.
-
Don't really know but I suspect not. From what other folk have said STs handle really well. :sad:

:smug: :grin:

"They laugh because I'm different, I laugh at them because they're all the same". Love my mk2 and would probs only sell it to fund another.
I think my VW enthusiasm is infectious, everyone I know loves my motor and appreciates that it's different from the jelly moulds.
Albeit my old boy and best friend prefer newer cars now, both have Passat and VRs now respectively cause I nudged them in that direction :wink:.
I remember recently one of the kids at work telling me matter of factly that they'd had a discussion and come to the conclusion that of all staff, mine was the coolest car :grin:

I'd have said cause I don't have the other 25K I'd need to buy something decent, and I'm not a silly bollocks who'd get into all sorts of finance for a depreciating asset that I'm never going to own!
I'd rather save up and make my GTI perfect, to have something that will do a big poo over most new cars and I will actually own myself, AND will be different, special and interesting to boot.
-
Oh Kittie, you're so much nicer than I am! :grin:

Word! :smiley:

Apparently only 27% of 11000 odd people asked on MSN would trade their old car for 2k off a new one, which I was quite surprised, yet cheered up by.

Don't get me wrong i have had my fair share of new cars, however i always sold them for what i paid if not more as i was buying them tax free, however i can't wait to get rid of my 2003 scoobie to get at least 2 mk2's, i love them and wish i had never sold my last one that i had and had got rid of the scoobie then, then i wouldn't be saving up to replace the syncros on 3rd before i get rid.
