Tell them to f**k off! Old cars are where its at, think of the depreciation they face while your cars going up in value
-
i'll have it off ya...need another although the colours not my fave :laugh:
-
Thats what i been sayin,
And it only cost me a set of pads an discs 2 keep it on road last year,
I get the thrill from drivin it every day still,

right well you have answered your own question really, why dont you treat her to some port polishing? New (non chavvy) exhaust system? Decent cams? New map? Full service? Then you will fall back in love
-
I think you need to go and sit in the corner and have a long hard think about what you first said!!! (my teacher used to tell me that all the time)
Keep it it looks sweet, i am personally going the other way now, done the new cars and swapping all the time, it cost too much money.
Also the other thing you need to ask is cost of repairs, because the newer the car the more it costs!
-
i think is a nice car dude , the colour is nice ! even u decide to buy a new car i would keep her as run around or incase ur new car broke down or in the garage for service and keep urself mobile !
-
Yeah f$%k em, im gunna keep it,
I never had it tuned up or anythin, There is a ALDON tuning specialists about half mile from my house, What kind of return could i expect from sending it there,
An how did you know i got 1 of them chavvy exhausts :grin: :grin:
-
Tell them to shove it. Ive dealt with brand spanker cars and although they are nice.... I dont love them!
-
i lurve that colour, :afro:
just think how much they have lost
KEEP IT, or give it too me :evil:
-
keep it!
-
if you sold it you would regret it. I have done it not allways by choice though, never again.
-
Dude, KEEP IT.
Theirs may be newer, but they're not nicer :wink:
-
I have driven Imprezzas, 911s, cossies and not one car have I enjoyed as much as the mk2 GTi. Keep it, but then I guess you want to keep it otherwise you wouldn't have asked in a place as biased as this!
:wink:
-
you want to keep it! tell your friends to take a long running jump ,nice car ,not sure on the colour but its your choice, reliable and yours runs well so cheap ,new cars smell nice for a wk and are not always the most reliable :smiley:
-
Yeah im gunna keep it, :smiley:
I had it 10 years an i aint bored of it,
I still feel as though i only had it a year or so,
Next time my mates say anythin im just gunna headbutt em :grin: :grin:
-
Good Choice M8...
They are only jealous of the fact that you drive an "Iconic" car and they drive "Chav-Mobiles".... :laugh: :laugh:
-
I've had Mk2 GTi's for years and was persuaded to change to a Mk5 GTi 6 months ago. I don't want to start a debate about which is better as it's each to their own but for me I lost the joy of driving and ended up buying another Mk2 a month ago. The Mk5 has been feeling a bit neglected in the drive ever since and will be going soon. I won't be doing that again in a hurry!
Good decision to keep it :smiley:

I dont know how many times i,ve had to explain to people why i keep getting them i just like them. Same as so many other people on here.
At the the end of the day you like it and enjoy it so who gives a fcuk what anyone else thinks.
-
Yeah im gunna keep it, :smiley:

Sounds like the best course of action. :grin:
I get people complementing how nice my mk2 is, plus 2 mates have bought one and another has been looking for a while. You'll just have talk your friends round. :wink:
-
Sell it and get a MK1 :grin:
If you've had it that long and you still love it, you already had the answer. Sods law would be you'd get something else and you wouldnt know its history and you'd hate it! Bet you know every inch of this one. If your friends change their cars every year then it shows they havent found a good car yet! You did.

Mate that is bang on,
That is what i keep sayin 2 em,
The only thing is that when something goes wrong on my car it gets amplified into sayin scrap it or get something newer,
-
Have you seen what went wrong with mine!!!!.... I wont let her go!
Dude, i've had all sorts of cars over the years and they go wrong too! No car is perferct. Does it give you much jip though, if i'm honest i thought the same as you with my previous mk1, i sold it and got a minter (bar the electrics) and then luck smacked me about almost like a bad omen for selling the last one.
-
nah mate it ay let me down at all really, New discs an pads last year, Fuel accumulator the year before,
Could do with some new shocks an springs though now i think, These been on 4 last 8 years now,
-
If you have the money to pi55 on a new car then think of the fun you could have spending it on this! It sounds like you love your car but feel its a bit tired. Bring her back to life, you'll get more bang per buck than you will on something newer.... just think, one day your car could be a slammed VR6 thats eats everthing in your area for the price of second hand MK4!
-
2 be honest mate, since i bought this 10 years ago i never had the money 2 buy another car since then,
But if i did have sum spare cash then yeah i would spend it on this now
-
Well you're probably doing the right thing all round then.... i know what you mean, I aint got sh*t to spend on mine but thats the point though, if i sold it, what else could i get on a budget? and would it then cost me a fortune if it broke? if i had a spare 10k for a car i'd spend every penny on mine. :smiley:
