Since my cars tax ran out at the end of July its been hiding from the evil DVLA car crushing squad in a garage up the road :sad: the MOT ran out halfway through the engine conversion and it doesn't work now so I'm stuffed til I get it running :sad:
I've been checking the garage is still locked etc.. every other day but lastnight we had to go up there so Dave (Mk2madman) could dump his fancy twin fan radiator thing in there - its the first time I've actually seen my car since its been in the garage and as soon as I opened the door I started welling up :huh: and the more I looked at it the more I wanted to cry, it looked so sorry for itself and I'm feeling seriously guilty now.
Is this usual? I always knew I was a bit too attached to my car but I never thought it would bring me to tears - not without being involved in an accident or something anyway.
Slick - I hope you know what you're getting yourself into :smiley:
-
Yeah i know what you mean its a horrible feeling when you cars sat looking sorry for itself
im currently runnning round in a car that doesnt do me any favours im half tempted to walk insread
-
At least you're in a car - I've been reduced to a 50cc scooter :laugh:
-
Ill swap ya for my BRG green rover 400 with beigh interior >?
-
yeah..was the same wen i had the golf off the road,sitting on the front drive..everytime i went past it i swear it used to call me a b!tch.."look at you spending money on shoes and going out, whilst im sat here lookin like this, you shud be ashamed of yourself"
..in the end i started using my back door to go out of the house.. :sad: :laugh: :laugh:
Dinx :kiss:
-

I have my 405 Mi16 in the garage and I see it everyday when I get the Golf out!
Thats looking sorry for itself but I just have other priorities atm.

Mine's like "oi whats with this fuc&ing sh!tty little scooter doing taking up all your weekends - you should be trying to work out whats wrong with ME!!!"
Worse thing is its only something stupid as I've had it running already :rolleyes:

Surely this must be the kick up the backside you need to get it sorted then :wink:
My car has now spent 3 months of this year off the road. 2 earlier when the engine was being done and it's been a month now aswell...it's not a nice sight when you see it sat there :sad:
Still, think of how much fun it'll be when it's back on the road :cool: :evil:

This is true ***goosebumps*** I've got a mk1 1.9 16v :drool: after many many years of dreaming about one.... shame I've never driven it :sad:
-
i think I've had my Mk1 for about 3 years now and i haven't even driven it :cry: :cry:
I have just been let down AGAIN by someone who said they would be able to spray it and now cant do it. I wish i hadn't stripped it down and just used it as it was but there you go. Ive got all the bits i need for it, just cant find a decent bodyshop to re spray her

There's a good bodyshop in Camberwell if thats any good - haven't used them myself but they did an excellent job on my mates car :smiley:
-

-

-
Yeah! I kno wot you meen my MK3,s been sat opposite my flat 4 the past 4 months with engine probs ,no time and no cash(kids cost a packet) but put my foot down this month and got it booked in at Graham Batts in Bristol for full monty MOT and everyting so i will be a happy man again soon!!!!!! :grin:
-
chin up bro, mine has spent alot of time sat in my garage over the last few months, i must admit i was pritty gutted too but that was only because at the time i didnt have the cash to splash on sorting it out! at the end of the day you will have a sweet and fast mk1! just keep at it! :smiley:
-
I'm feeling this pain too...my 16v Golfs been off the road since March (TAX / MOT expired and needed a bigger car at the time)and its sat there on the drive just begging to go and just awaiting a bit of cash and TLC...driving the family tank BMW just bores me to sleep (even with 211bhp - mostly required to shift its lazy fat ass of the drive!) and the wifes Corrado makes me miss it more :cry:
-
I think mine flipped me the bird when i left her in her retirement home for the long run.
I miss her like crazy, i haven't even missed a missus like i am missing my motor. (no wonder i am single :tongue: )
maybe i should go to bed, but the reason still stands, i miss my car like crazy, and it's only been 4 days. :lipsrsealed: :cry: :cry:
-
