Just bought myself an N reg MK3 GTI 8v Dragon Green 3 door :huh:
The cab is due for MOT next month and there are so many things that need doing to get it up to standard so I decided to buy a nice run around and garage the cab for the time being. I've been using the cab as a daily for 5 years now and every year it costs me sh1t loads to get it through an MOT. Last year cost me £350 and there is even more wrong with it this time!
The plan is to just have the cab for shows/summer car as I don't think it is suitable for the daily driving that I'm doing. Not sure when it will be back on the road again :cry:
Paid £1000, with 130K on the clock. Really good condition, the interior is mint. A couple of marks on the outside, but will be really easy to get it looking good :cool: Totally standard (but for how long :grin:)
Picking it up on Saturday, I can't wait :nerd: Will get some pics up on the weekend.
-
Cool ! :grin: You will see the light soon my friend..... :smug:

well...u wont give a sh!te about that one hun...and ul get the cab lookin schweet :cool:

That's the one! That is just what mine looks like
:wink:
Is that your dads?
-
no thats just a random picture but my dads is exactly the same, 3 door in that green and an 8 valve, its an N reg too, identical cars! :laugh:
when you went to look at it did u test drive it?
-
Cool! :cool:
No couldn't test drive it tonight as it was parked up on a farm in the south Wales Valleys with loads of snow around. Had to jump in the guy's 4x4 to go and see it. I've given him a deposit with the understanding I can have it back if I'm not happy with it when I test drive it on Saturday.
My mate has got one so I've driven his a few times.
-
just in case it does the trick that a few of them do, mine included where it limits at 5000 rpm

What will you be getting then Dinx? :huh:
I might even sell the cab yet :shocked: Still haven't made up my mind :undecided:
-
maybs a driver..but dif engine :cool:
:shocked: you cant do that!!
Dinx :kiss:
-
I've got a garage to put it in for now, so there is no rush on a decision.
The ex would be mad if I did cos she always wanted me to sell it and I never would, perhaps that was some of the reason why we split up :grin:
I think I would only sell it if I needed the money to buy another house again. Just got my money through from selling the house to the ex and her sister, hence buying my new boat :laugh: I'm living back with my mum again now, but don't know how long I will be here, so it's all a bit up in the air.
You going to many shows this year Dinx?
-
nah..u gotta keep it hun.. :wink:
erm..not too sure tbh hun..deffo leeds n e38-u gotta do e38 man!! you?
Dinx :kiss:
-
Will be going to a few I reckon, not sure which ones yet. I've lost the thumb print off my head or I've been let off my lead so to speak. I was limited to shows last year due to being told what shows I could and couldn't go to!
I do what I want to do now :smug:
-

yeah hun..get ya self to a few like! may have to make more of an effort myself tbh.. :smiley:
Dinx :kiss:
