Car was 2 lady owners from new with FULL service history with all receipts.

6 speed 130PD model
On trip computer 2 had 50.6mpg over 9000 miles (so driven very carefully for a long time  :smiley:)


1st job - Rear axle bushes changed  (bloody bumps did my head in)

I have fitted leather seats, just the door cards to fit (and leather arm rest on order)
Parrot blu tooth kit fitted
Pipercross panel filter to fit (if i can remember where i've bl00dy put it)

Changing wheels to 16" VW as im trying to keep OEM as possible.

Well that's nice, when you get a temporary car and decide you want to keep.

Looks like a good one too.  You'll be re-mapping it next   :lipsrsealed:  :grin:

Well I know that when I had 4 cars in one year my insurance company got really funny about so many changes plus they told me that having 5 or more cars in a year could lead to being classed as a trader.

Post by: billy_vw on 26 January 2012, 13:16
I have only ever had 1 insurance company that said maximum 8 changes in a 12 month policy

& i still had 4 months left on my policy  :grin:

Since then i stick to about 5-6 cars a year

But they do love charging £25 for amendments

I have thought about a trader's policy, but it's not that i'm making money out of changing my car, as i do spend like mad on them
It's just that i do Love VW's & i want to drive as many as i can before i'm dead  :smiley:
