Title: Hi Everyone.
Post by: Bam Bam on 23 January 2005, 23:25: Just thought I'd introduce myself as I'm new here, I've just become a GTi owner (again) and thought I'd better find a decent place in cyber space to hang-out.

I'm based in NE England and currently own a 1990 H plate Mk2 3-Door in Cosmic Blue Metallic, currently on it's original Pirelli alloys but I've just bought a rare set of Strosek 5-Spokes and I'm re-furbing them at present, they are approx. 10-15 yrs. old so are of the correct period for the car.

I've just fitted 2 new rear wheel bearings as they were starting to hum slightly and I've renewed the gear linkage due to it being worn and sloppy, the car drives well considering it's 113k miles but I'm having trouble with the Alarm/Immobiliser thats fitted, it's a Cat. 1 with Anti-Car jacking facility but it's driving me barmy at the moment.

Anyway enough prattling on for now, I'm off to browse the forum.? :smiley:

Post by: Bam Bam on 26 January 2005, 20:05: Hi again,
No pics. as yet of my GTi Dinx but something that may be of interest to some of you here is www.showoffyourcar.com
It's a free picture hosting site and if you register you can upload pics. of your nice VW's for all to see, I don't think there are many Gti's on there to be honest so it would be good for us to show them what we have. :wink:
If you click on "members" and do a search for me (James Richardson) you will come across my previous car, a Fiat Coupe 20vT in Sprint Blue with a lot of styling and body mods.
I sold this car 4 months ago after 3 years of ownership, I get bored quite easily with my cars and I've owned approx. 45-50 since I started driving, German and Italian sports cars and coupe's are my favourite.

Anyhow must be off for now as "Pebbles" shouts "dinner is served".
Speak to you all later.

Bam Bam.

Post by: Bam Bam on 29 January 2005, 13:20: :grin: :grin: :grin: "Pet" is fine I suppose for some girls although some might feel a bit offended. "Marra" meaning "mate" is what you were after for a bloke or to play safe you could have used "Hinny" for both male and female.

Strange dialect we have up here. :laugh:

Title: Re: Hi Everyone.
Post by: Bam Bam on 29 January 2005, 22:30: Yeah I'd be up for that, I'm actually going down to Worcestershire in a few weeks time for a MG gathering, I'm not a big fan of the marque myself but a mate of mine has a very good MG B GT he's selling and he's taking the car down, I'm following to bring him back if the car sells.
Do you have a calendar of VW events for the coming year, whats the first decent show coming up this spring/summer. ?

Jim. :smiley:

Title: Re: Hi Everyone.
Post by: Bam Bam on 29 January 2005, 22:50: Yeah I've just looked in the shows and events section to see what's coming up, I see Inters is at Ipswich and there's a new show at Leeds in June, it would be a good laugh if we got a NE Convoy going.

Jim.? :smiley:
