Title: Oh my god I've joined the dark side!
Post by: Bronze MK1 Cab on 13 March 2006, 21:51
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.

It's like a dark metallic green. Well at least I think that it is dragon green.

Title: Re: Oh my god I've joined the dark side!
Post by: Neaty on 13 March 2006, 22:58
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?
Title: Re: Oh my god I've joined the dark side!
Post by: Bronze MK1 Cab on 13 March 2006, 23:08
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.

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?

Post by: Bronze MK1 Cab on 14 March 2006, 23:08
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:
