probs not gonna happen but im seein bank manager on thursday next week... thinking of borrowing some dosh to get a decent ride as the vr track hack is a f00kin bone shaker for work and the mrs is naggin about me not takin the kids anywhere cause i aint got any seats...... now im askin for about 4-5k can afford it but i still reckon theyll say no...but if they dont then ill be in the market for a pre xmas bargin.. :wink: ive been thinkin its got to be a car that wont loose money like a tw@t... so ive been lookin at prsches, air cooled and stuff.... now ive come to a choice between 2..... either an audi coupe quattro s2 or a golf rallye but tbh i dont like em me self (like the 4wd thing but the egg box looks dont do it for me... no offence intended.) and it seems a fair few long termers are gettin em on here now and i dont think im here enough to fit into that elite... so maybe a golf g60 lhd in good order... but can i find one....?????
got £2k's worth of bike sat in the shed too which is pissin me off.... no fooker wants to buy it or take it in px at the mo.... not all bad ive got a vr6 to rag about in but its rough as @rseholes to look at lol...
lets see what mr bamk man has too say... if its a no then im forced to waiting till the bike is sold in new year and saving my xmas overtime to put with it.... but pre xmas is the time to buy as peeps skint :wink:
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
what about another VR but a Corrado?
-
I know of a lhd very lovely mk2 lhd edition 1 G60 is f**k me im stunning purple for sale in Guernsey for 2750 with low low km's and coded arches. Mate its a beaut. That wedge would be well spent on treatin the good lady to a pre crimble weekend trip to VAT free Guernsey and a wee purchase of said vehicle! I would if i could insure the bloody thing!
-
Gaz give us the details of the bike - a mate here in Swindon owns a bike shop selling second hand bikes he might be interested in buying it. No promises mind.
-
Gaz, get a RS2 mate, it's got a sh!tload of power, 4wd, avant, and looks the dogs pink bits. :cool: :cool: :cool:
-
Agree with the above :wink:
-
Gaz, what about this, cheap as chips and you wont lose any money on it. http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=51000.0 :wink:

I didn't know you were into Audi's?? :laugh:
-
Always have been.
Own one along side the golf now. Little workhorse 80 tdi.
-
Nice one. I have to say i wouldn't get another golf now, my 100 is slower than the vr was, but its just so comfortable. Also the Audi is so much better built, and much more reliable.
All i've had to replace on the 100 in 6 months is the timing belt and front brake discs/hoses, not bad for a car thats 12 years old and done 125,000 miles. Whenever i've bought a golf i've had to replace everything :rolleyes:
-
nicely said mate.
golfs are f**kin crap when it comes to reliability. MK4's are the worst so stay clear :angry:
my next car is not a vw. thank fook :wink:
EDIT: just got off the fone....the mk4 turbo's engine light has come back on. f**kin sh!tty golfs :angry:
-
Thanks mate.
I've also got a 2004 VW Touran, nothing but trouble.
It kept cutting out, sorted that out, now one of the front wheel bearings has gone, and thats after only 20,000 miles. Back in the garage again as its still under warranty :rolleyes:
-
well it deffo wont be...
an oak green mk2 gti (been there done that in that colour and f00k knows how many other colours!)
mk4 gti, (would consider a 4 motion if the price was right but still same elctrical niggles and probs as normal mk4)
corrado (yeah some look good some just look dag....)
slick i like your idea of an s2 estate rather than the coupe... could at least get kids/dog/wife/bmx etc in it... lol
but im also liking a g60 as i do like the mk2 look with that engine,
len ill pm you the details of me bike and ask you mate, i know dealers wont offer me f00k all this time of years even to buy it off me let alone a trade in on a dearer bike but if you could get an idea that would be great...
ive also been looking at s2 porsche 944's and turbos for a while now... :shocked:
but it all depends on bank man... if a no go there ill have about £2k 2nd week in new year for all my xmas over time and my bike.....
:evil: :laugh: :evil: :laugh:
-
Interested in a mk2 16v 4 door with leathers? :cool:
-
not unless its £100... you know what i pay for stuff blue!! and i know what you pay for stuff... lol so unless you wanna swap it for the carbon fibre hugger off me bike then no lol
:cool:
-

-

audi RS6 transplant into a mk2 golf

-
wonder if thats been done yet? would be scary in something as light as a mk2!
-
all depends on cash rob... got £2k's worth off bike in the shed and ill earn that also over the next month in extras... but id like to keep me bike and borrow some... lol... was lookin at audi s2 coupes then slick suggested the s2 80 estate which i never thought of.. but as i love audi estates.....
so we'll see what happens in next week, if not its gonna have to wait a month.... still keepin the stripped vr6 as my track toy...
:wink: :wink:
-
only conversion id undertake is same as robs, ive got a decent vr6 lump/gearbox running in a mk3 shell all good, but shell not 100% and tbh im not that keen on mk3's so if ever it got dented.... a donor mk2 it would all go into...
:grin:
-
i'll lend ya my Mk2 to stick it in Gaz..... :wink:
-
hey £500 and the complete vr is yours minus plate/seats/harnesses ... then youd have full 5 stud set up with 280mm brakes etc :wink: :wink: you know how quick she is... imagine that in a mk2.....
oh yeah have the kettle on at 10am tomorrow :wink:

:sad:
-
oh yeah seen as your new mk2 is a k jet if yas wantin to do a vr conversions yas need a mk2 8v digi fuse box... as its all plug and play from there...... early fuse boxes need a bit of fookin about....
:laugh:
