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.

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.

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.

Post by: The Doc on 20 July 2007, 17:22
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!

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:

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!

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?
Title: Re: I'm back! The missus has a GT TDI golf!
Post by: The Doc on 22 July 2007, 19:05
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:

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:.
Title: Re: I'm back! The missus has a GT TDI golf!
Post by: The Doc on 24 July 2007, 20:39
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!
