Pity the Focus windscreen is intact - I would have expect those bloody thievies not to be wearing seatbelts and hence go through the windscreen... :angry:

By the way Doc didn't you part-ex your GTI or was it a private sale?  I thought it would be much harder to sell privately due to the big price tag or am I wrong?

blimey i cant keep up with the cars u buy! i thought i was bad with 6 in 2 years
Title: Re: My missus killed our GT-TDi - With Pics - WHAT A MONTH
Post by: illyun on 25 April 2006, 11:23
6 in 2 years? How about 13 in 1 year   :laugh:

2002

1.   Nissan Micra, 62k, L Reg, 1994

2004
2.   Mk3 Golf GTI 8v 91k, P Reg 1996 - I was after a BMW 3-Series 323 Coupe but had to 'settle' for the Mk3 GTI as a 'stop-gap' car... but as soon as I drove the thing, I didn't look back and the rest is history...

2005
3.   Mk3 Golf GTI 8v 140k, J Reg, 1992
4.   Mk2 Golf GTI 16v 54k, J Reg 1991
5.   Mk2 Golf GTI 16v Campaign 143k, E Reg 1987
6.   Subaru Impreza STI Import 72k km, L Reg 1993 - a dabble in a different marque, fast as anything but nowhere near as good as a GTI as an all round package.  Learnt the error of my ways pretty soon and then continued driving the best classic GTIs around in the most mint and original condition that I could find them in.
7.   Mk1 Golf GTI Campaign 170k, A Reg 1983
8.   Mk3 Golf VR6 Highline 72k, P Reg 1997
9.   Mk1 Golf GTI 74k, Y Reg 1983
10.   Mk2 Golf GTI 8v 92k, J Reg 1992

2006
11.   Mk2 Golf G60 Syncro, 71k, H Reg 1991
12.   Mk3 Golf GTI 8v 143k, K Reg 1992
13.   Mk1 Golf GTI Campaign 62k, A Reg 1983
14.   Mk2 Golf GTI 8v 39k, F Reg
15.   Mk5 Golf GTI, 06 Reg 2006

I currently have numbers 11, 13, 14 and 15.... but 11 and 14 have to go as I now have to face up to the real world and buy my first house...  :cry:

Plans for the future?  Find a low mileage <50k 3-door Mk2 16v and keep that along with the Mk1 Campaign.  That will be it for me.

The best car out of the lot was the Mk2 8v with 92k on the clock, followed very closely by the Mk2 16v and then the Mk5 and with the Mk1 Campaign with 62k coming fourth.  Worst car has to be the Mk3 8v - very nasty - that really does not deserve the GTI badge.

The only slight gripe I have with the GTIs is that I feel that VW should have put a bit more power under the bonnet - say 10-20% more and than would have made them untouchable...

Mk1 and Mk2 SHEDS!!!   I take it Doc that you have never driven a Mk1 or Mk2 in mint condition so it drives as it was meant to when built... believe me, the Mk2 16v for example is a fantastic car and in my opinion, just shades the Mk5 which although a fantastic car that seems to almost glide over road surfaces is still too heavy - even though it doesn't seem it - and doesn't have that direct 'one-with-the-road' go-kart feeling that the Mk1 and Mk2 had.  I still turn my head as far as it will go when I see a good Mk2 16v on the road and I'm driving a Mk5!

Post by: illyun on 27 April 2006, 00:40
Oh and I got through all those cars in one year because I wanted to get a good feel of what a good Mk1 and Mk2 drives like as I don't have the advantage of years of driving these cars.  Still looking for that mint Mk2 16v - and I will find it    The Syncro is too heavy with its 4-wheel drive and so I have to sell - plus I need the money and the mint Mk2 8v I have just isn't a 16v and I could again do with the money so am selling that.  But after that, I will settle down and just take the Mk1 and 2 to shows and maintain them... all this searching, buying and selling/replacing is getting really tiring.
