Title: Good day all (pic added)
Post by: gc350 on 05 December 2005, 14:11: Hi all,

Just found the site, quite handy really cos i've just got myself a C-reg Mk2 Golf GTi 8V.Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â The good thing about cars is the fact that i know very little about them.Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â I'm a bit of a bike fiend really.

The car is great nick, and a real nice drive. Its grey 2 (elderly) owners 67,000 and fsh.Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â Its had the odd knock on a few panels, but the paintwork is undamaged and there is NO rust.

It has a few things that need sorting, like the heater matix (its been bypassed) the very back part of the roof lining has sagged a bit, and the rear wiper motor does'nt work.

It beats driving around in my renault 11.

More about me, i'm 28, been driving for nearly 6 years, but till now my real pasion has been for motor bikes, which have been my hobby for about 11 years.

Well thats meÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â :smiley:

And this is my car
