Hi guys and gals
Thought i would give a quick intro seeing as i am new here :smiley:
My name is Lottie and i am in Oxfordshire, i have just purchased a 1986 Mark 2 1.8 GTI 8 valve in jade green i think lol, please forgive my ignorance but this is the first time i have owned a golf. It is in a a bit of a poor state body wise but mechanically it runs like a dream (which i found pretty impressive for a 19 year old car).
I brought as i needed a run around while i took my 205 1.9 GTI of the road as that is going to be having a new engine fitted and i wanted something that was suitably on par with the 205. I have only had the golf for a couple of weeks and i have to be honest i am hooked lol, it is definitely a keeper and with a bit of TLC should be back to it's former glory.

Welcome to the forum.
And as I'm sure you will find out, these guys LOVE their MK2's.
Have a look around, you will find loads of advice, hints and tips.

Welcome to you Lottie!
You better not be putting an Mi 16 engine in that 205! Grrrrrrr! :laugh: (I have one!) (the car)
Forget the 205 and spend the money on the Golf! (even if it is a Mk2)
Oh and photos please! :wink: :laugh:

and welcome to the forum :smiley:
MK2 = great choice!! and as Len says ditch the 205!! It will only rust away... :rolleyes:

welcome to the forum and the best car choice ever, inho the mkII is the best of the golfs, al;though many people may disagree with me this is genrally due them being jelous lol :evil: (joking guys) look forward to seeing your car on here soon enough

Like Len said, whereabouts in Oxfordshire, as I'm in a little place called Benson, so if you get any grief (not that you would with a mk2!) let me know, I might be round the corner from you.
