Title: Newbie :)
Post by: robertb2700 on 07 November 2009, 15:05: Hello :smiley:

I'm new here, I was a golf owner but sadly this week it was wrote off :sad: no fault of my own though. a stupid bus driver hit my parked car and snapped the steering rack, cracked the windscreen and dented my door. I dont have the money to repair the car as the mechanical repairs have came in at more than £1000 so im back on the hunt for another golf. I've got some pics of the car before it was hit by the bus but not sure how to upload them?

Anyways my name is Robert :smiley: hopefully I will be back on the road asap.

ive had a look in the classifieds and put up a wanted ad too. ideally looking for a mk3 1.6 again but could be persuaded into a 1.8 or even a mk2 1.6 :)

Post by: mumbles on 08 November 2009, 23:09: fair enough, i'm guessing insurance would be a bit steep on a gti coz you're 20. mk2 would be my choice but might need more work to get/keep it running... mk3 more comfortable and parts are easier and cheaper to come by... good luck on the quest for a motor :cool:
