Some of you might remember I moved house a little while ago. Well the geezer next door owns a Pug 205 GTI.
Now, it's reasonably tidy...quite possibly faster than my Golf, but what a heap of junk!
The poor guy is always out there trying to fix it ! The plastic trim of the hatchback has fallen off, and every morning when he leaves to go to work his driver's door makes a nasty loud CLUNK...CLICK ...CLUNK BANG.....DOING..noise as he gets in it.
He came home the other night with the side repeater hanging off by it's wires ! :grin:
Shall I tell him to consider buying a Golf GTI ? :laugh: It's a daily reminder to me why Dubs Rock !! :wink:
-
Nah, don't tell him, be subtle. Sticker his 2 side windows with www.golfGTI.co.uk stickers...... :)
-
ot gently lean on it so that panels fall off, then when he asks for you advice, tll him how cool dubs are
-
arh bless him..least hes tryin to fix it...
nah...b0llix that..just go on and on about how class ur golf is :evil: :laugh:
Dinx :kiss:

I tried a poo-go about 6 years ago (1990 205 1.9gti) but it didn't last long, i got it cheap of a work colleague (£500) and had pretty much already decided its fate by the time i'd got home when i turned off the A20 a went to go round a roundabout the car just lost it completely!!! those things are dangerous if you ask me.
I sold it for £1000 without the tunes, nice :laugh:

My mate has a black 1.9 gti, it is quite tidy to be fair to him buti hate them, he took me for a spin in it and it didnt feel anything as quick as my valver, and it felt so cheap and plasticy! its a typical french cheap imitation of a golf!
now they may be faster than 8valves or possibly 16valves (mark 2) but they are badly made! to change the starter motor you have to take off the inlet manifold!
and yea they are terrible for lift-off-oversteer!! a roundabout accident waiting to happen!
-
Have you noticed how many seem to break the door check strap thereby buckling the door when it opens too far :shocked:
My brothers 106 had that problem and after running it for a year its amazing what you notice when you look around..........quite a few have got buckled door for that very reason :rolleyes:
-
they are bloody quick tho, dominated the raleye circuits whn they came out....
-
Oh well, thats french cars for ya :grin: :grin:
-
Bloody load of crap the 205!!
No where near as good as a 405 Mi16!!!! :wink: :laugh: Nowt tinny about em! It is a 1500kg car!
Agree about the sarter motor tho! Well on the Mi16 its the same! Before I bought my Golf I had a 405GTX which was basiclly the same but an 8v engine. I could change the starter motor on that o.k.

Doesnt the frecnh always lose out the germans on things.....kinga like give up the ghost early :lipsrsealed:
-
Straight line quick maybe, a mate of mine actually died in his (he's ok now though) another wrecked his on a roundabout trying to catch a 1.0 fiesta!!!
They dont make the engines too good either (according to my local peugeot dealer) so it'll drop oil everywhere for a while (mine did) before it blows (mine did but i'd sold it,when the bloke came back to me i had to ask what he expected from such a pile of sh!te!!!) - Ahh the old "sold as seen", it got me so i had to pass on the bad fortune :evil:
:huh::if you're wondering about the bloke who died, he was clinically dead when the ambulance arrived and now resembles robo-cop on an x-ray
-
Oh, I forgot to mention he has hassles starting it now the weather is a bit colder amd damper....
-
ha ha SUCKA!!!

lol.. pugeout are nothing compared to a VW... rich.. i know just what u mean about doors buckling!! my 106 did! (not that i shud admit to having one :grin:)
if he drove a vw, or went for a ride in one, surely he would get a smile on his face? when i got my driver (know its not perfect) but it makes me smile when i drive it... so much nicer to drive than little pugs, which feel like they are made of tin foil...
Show him what he's missing.... i'm with dinx :laugh:
-
Don't think I'd better wind him up at the moment tbh, we had the house warming at the weekend and we were still rinsing the d&b at 2am with the sub woofer on max. Poor Geezer ! :shocked:
Better keep a low profile for a bit.... :wink:

What a loser for owning anything other than a VW!
When I drive around in my golf it makes me smile to see all these other cars that aren't VWs, all these idiots don't know what they are missing. Nothing else comes close man, VWs rule forever, all other cars suck, I'm so glad I found this site where I can come to feel all smug and superior cos I own a 10 year old car worth less than £1000...
-
what have u got mate?
-
I've got a driver, but it's done up to look like a GTI, and the bloke i bought it off done loads to the engine so it's well fast, faster than most of the 8valves i race lol

i'm gonna get a proper gti soon, with a bad sound system in it and stuff.
-
I used to have a driver, but was stock under the bonnet!
what has been done to yours?
