hi guys so im back and after i sadly sold my gti back end of last year :cry: i decided it was time to put my foot down with the misses i said "wifey im getting another Gti" to which she said "you bloody aint not with the price of petrol" so then cowedly said how about a Gti (non turbo) and she agreed that would be fine.
now between us i could of got a 1.8t and never opened up when she was in it, but.... she deals with our admiral multicar so when i give her my number plate admiral would of told her what it is
so i got a 1.8 non turbo it definitely aint as quick as my 1.8t but its a work in progress
** oh and before you look at the pictures and go oh... realise it does need some cosmetic work and lets face it, it cost me 5 times less than my other one **
so heres the first few pics (from the advert)
