Was the EOS Rubbish?
-
What was wrong with the EOS?
-
Those who know me from old know I only have cars for 6 months - it lasted nearly 9 months so can't be all bad. :wink:
Also I think she's pi55ed off with the weather after waiting since Christmas for some sunshine :sad:
Personally I think they rattle too much, mist up all the time and are a little flexible in the bendy bits - they drive more like a Passat than a Golf.
-
Welcome back Doc!!!!! Nice motor!!
-
Hello Doc - nice to hear from you again.
:smiley:
-
Great looking Motor, I love the GT grill. :smiley:
-
Great to see you back Doc,
Where are your mods going to start then? Looks quite well spec'ed maybe Sat-Nav or parking sensors?
Your how-to's were great.

Hooray the Doc returns!!
Your place as resident expert has been taken by TT mate but good to see you! Am living the dream at last in my ED30 :grin:
-
Hi guys and thanks for the warm welcome!
-
Welcome back.....You still have the Mini?
-
Welcome back Doctor. Good see old an face about the place...
Tagnut - the mini went ages back i think. I'm sure I remeber it selling with 500 miles on it or something silly.
-
Thats a roger, the mini's gone - 500 miles on the clock and my money back!
I've got a Range Rover Vogue TDV8 at the moment but that's getting changed for an Audi RS4 avant in Sprint blue next week with a bit of luck - my car guy is just seeking the best price for my Vogue and were away! :wink:
Plus I still have the Land cruiser, kangoo and the caddy DSG - chipped by me now and goes like stink, The boys that work for me have got a Skoda VRS (Still) and Will's changed the A3 3.2 S-line for an R32 in DBP.
I just failed my bike test on Tuesday but I'm doing the test again in 8 days so fingers crossed I'll be getting a bike too!
-
Missed the Mini going! :rolleyes:
-
Welcome back Doc... great to see you again. Also, do you have your order down for the Golf GTI W12 ? :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
-
I wish :wink:

Hiya,
is Xenons that important and are they really worth the extra cash?
thanks
Nice looking car
-
Yes and Yes IMHO :wink:
-
nice gt tdi doc. i must admit i would love one of these 170ps diesels.
whats the power delivery like on them?
-
Great to see you back Doc,

Your right!
Park sensors first!
I only bought it coz it was VERY cheap :shocked:
-
Hey Doc.
Great to see you are back again. (I did state you would be back)
Great looking car and I wish i could see a chipped Caddy :laugh:
Anything on the way for you? GTI? R32? Ed 30?
I do remember you said in a previous post something to do with a GTI... :rolleyes:
Miike
-
Im supposed to be collecting an RS4 next week :wink:
The cheap GTI fell through but I picked this GT up for 15k!
I'll make a video of the DSG Caddy doing it's thing and post it - its funny as hell when you blow quick (NOT FAST) cars away!
-
Please do so!!!
lol
-
great to see you back doc, and back in a golf (albeit a gt - nice!) Must be looking forward to the RS4 you lucky sod! Seems like you had that range rover sport for a while - any good?
-
The sport was crap mate so I sold it and bought a Range rover TDV8 Vogue - well better - a propper car - just need my broker to sell it for me and I can get the Audi :wink:
-
I wish :wink:
How you doing Ill?
Not bad at all although the 300 mile commute to Bracknell from Ipswich in my Mk2 16v is getting a bit tiring. I have a Corrado VR6 but want to keep the mileage low - around 82k - as I am selling it soon. My missus has a Lupo GTI and my 2nd Edition 30 - with DSG this time - is due in October... I sold the last one to get my house and invest the money. One of my colleagues at worked pointed out that instead of buying a Golf GTI for £28k I could do better and get a very decent Porsche 911 and sell it in a years time with little depriciation... That got my attention - well not the don't buy the GTI bit... that just went in one ear and straight out the other :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: So I have plans for the next couple of years that involve a Porsche 911 and a Ferarri F355 :drool: The Ferrari F355 because it got me thinking about what else I could get for roughly similar money give or take £7k :rolleyes:.
-
Nice plan F355 is a monster to run £ wise but is good fun!
911 - depreciation proof motoring IMHO :wink:
-
Hi Everyone! This is slightly off topic but I was wondering if I could retro fit the later GT front grille (after seeing the Docs lovely purchase) to my 2004 GT TDI (Mk5)??
thanks!

Hooray the Doc returns!!

There is enough room here for more than one <cough> expert <cough>. :wink: :wink:
Anyhow, I know fcuk all about electronics, so in that area, I bow in respect to the knowledge fountain that is the Doc!
Oh, and welcome back, Doc, from me too. :smiley:
