Evening all!,
Right just a quick hello to say "hello"!
Recently got my first GTI in the middle of August, but not had a good drive of it yet due to clutch (and cable) needing doing. Tax, Insurance, Cambelt (130K) and imm anobiliser planned for the next few months. I might squeeze a stereo in there during that time.
So yeah, Mk3 in Mystic Blue (LC5L) - which I think is Purple in some lights, guess thats the Mystic part! All standard and plan to keep it that way, but loving the scene - (Red Nation issue of PVW going down a treat!).
Previous car history:-
Mini, Mini, Mini, erm Mini, Maestro (ask your Dad's!), Mini, Mini, KA, Mini, Y-Reg SEAT Ibiza 1.4 (VAG YEAH :wink:), Pug 107 in Yellow, GTI :laugh:
The Peugeot 107 is the ex-wife's and .... for sale! so gone from a car with a girl thingy to a car with a hairy chest and thingy!!!
Mancunian now living in Skipton, where I walk to work, so have my car as a plaything/daily runner.
Might be after ... Rallye Grille???? built in square spot lights.... If you see any let me know!
So yep - as you can see I am bit of a Mini man... I know not strictly VAG but if you have five minutes check out www.minidivision.co.uk (http://www.minidivision.co.uk)
Scalextric Mini and the Rally Mini have both made it to cover cars
or "Minidivision Rally Mini - Super Sleeper" on Youtube http://youtu.be/GdE-qgfAAOU (http://youtu.be/GdE-qgfAAOU)
Might get a yellow card for the above :tongue: but Mk3 pics coming soon!

"so gone from a car with a girl thingy to a car with a hairy chest and thingy" thingy!!
Hi Murrayedition35, I am gonna put the GT back in GTI and go on a GrandTour of Scotland with nothing more than a sleeping bag and money for fuel!

Sounds like a plan, but you better look out for the Haggis..... :grin:

Lol, same here! Although i got off fairly lucky, most of the crust was surface rust :smiley:, but they certainly rust well! Not much better than minis in that area :cry:! Watch out for sill rot where the door seals join at the bottom, mine was quite bad there :sad:

A quick search on google reveals.....

The best Mk3 colour :afro: does indeed look a bit purple at times due to the metallic an Pearl in the paint!
