Guys you have got to help me!
My fiance says that my golf gti is not a classic car, just an old banger and that when i have finished restoring it i have to sell it cos i already have a good car.
Please will you help me by posting reasons why i should keep it and also tell her that it is a classic car.

its made by vw and once finnished will out last her ;D
mine is nearly on 200.000 miles and orignal engine!
lets see if a ''modern car'' can do that! no chance!
new cars are just reconditioned trash........there made from melted down scrappers.....abit of new bubley shapes and new fashey paint......its nothing special new cars......there crap.........thats the only good thing about them there new.......everything else goes out the window......performance, handling, longlivity and the cost if the thing breaks.......seen how much new headlights are for new cars mine costs ?25.....as for new punto or 206 etc they can be up to ?200 even more.......never mind if the ecu packs up! and can you work on the new cars no chance need dealer for everything! mate just about did oil change on his dads escort had to take front wheel of to get at oil filter! where as i can to mine without even jacking the car up!......there are loads more reasons.......also lets see if a new car is good in a crash now and also when its 5 years old a full of rust!
ive never seen a car with 200000 on the clock!
proof is vw last they are safe strong and great car!
its as simple as that!
-
Cheers dude ;D
this is what i need, keep em comin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Have to say mate, that it doesn't matter how many people stick up for you here she'll get her own way anyway.
You'll end up selling it just to live an easy life.
Bloody women!!!!!!!!!!
-
Maybe u should get rid of her instead ??
:D
-
why dont you marry golfgal^ she loves to get her hands dirty :D :-*
Tell her....''accept my car or im leaving''
hahah sukker
-
Ruth,
Please accept this 'nearly restored' VW as a token of Malky's affections.
As you build your life together, the car will be a built along with you.
:o :o :o :o :o :o
-
ha ha!!!
Yup like gettin my hands dirty he he ;)
-
Come on, agree with me here, the women always get their own way.
-
You have two choices:
1)Sell the car
2)Keep the car and buy a wicked pair of earplugs.
;D
-
Personally I'd keep the car and sell the fiance!
You could get at least 20 years of hassle free motoring out the car.....................
-
How can i show her what youve written here guys, you have first told me to get rid of her and already set me up with someone else!!!!
However if i do show her and then she leaves me at least i will still have two loves in my life.............my cars!!! ??? ;D ;) :-[
-

-
Hey ill give u 50 quid for the golf mate, cos u know your woman will get her own way in the end.
-
my missus calls my 16valva a piece of sh!t ,i told her iam doing it up for when my son passes his test,he,s only 2 .......he he
-

I just stressed at him..''why isnt your son driving a car at his age and why does your misses pick u up in her 1.1 peugeot after work''

since me cohorts have all come to the conclusion that because your fiance has the audacity to question your motive towards your GTI, shes the one that has to go. Likewise, if the Golf expressed an opinion about your girl, you'd tell it to mind its own business. Pity you cant say that to the girl.
Anyway, the Golf GTI (Mk2) is not a classic car.
Yet.
But it will be.
Heres my reasoning.
1. There are many many Golf GTI Mk2s out their. And every day some wally wallops it into something terminal. Like a wall, another car, lamp post, etc. The laws of attrition will turn to your favour and in 10 years, when you look around for a good condition Golf GTI - there wont be any around.
Question - when did you last see a Cortina? or a Granada Mk1 or 2?
Answer - not recently, they were everywhere once, but now they are all dead. The Golf will go the same way.
2. I am not into the Modding camp. I dislike Mods to Golf Mk2s. Sorry guys, there you have it. I like tasteful mods, but generally, i hate mods. So many Mk2s are being modded, that in ten years time - there wont be any decent "standard" Golf Mk2s. The ones that will be around will be in very poor shape, or Modded to hell. Getting spares will be close on to a nightmare.
Modded cars also tend to fall into the wrong hands. They cost alot to put together, and even more to keep running. Eventually, the owner finds a female, they settle down, and buy baby clothes. At somepoint the modded car has to go to pay for a school uniform.
The car is then sold to someone who doesn't care, or even has the same inclination as the original owner, and the car starts falling apart.
Within 3 years it looks a dogs dinner. And then the car gets scrapped.
All of these work to your favour with an Original Mk2 Golf GTI. They will become rare, and although if you invested the money in a savings account, it will out perform your investment in the Golf for the next 100 years, you will be the proud owner of something very rare and precious.
Regards,
Tin

Nice one mate. My Golf is standard and will stay that way cos i think its beautiful as it is!!!!
Im just gonna keep quiet and maybe she wont notice that when ive finished it i dont sell it. After all women are forgetful (I wish!)
Anyway, she drives a sh!tty clio and when that dies i will give her my ibiza and use my Golf. I had better make a good job of restoring it as i do 500 miles a week commuting to work!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope it will take it! ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
;) ditto, dump the bird there are plenty more out there..............perhaps the site could do come up with a "lonely hearts" page for such guys and girls,you would all have at least one thing in common!!!
Tinman:- you need to be a littler less serious mate,i recommend a large dose of humour, :)
-
??? the guy asked a serious question - needs to justify the golf to the girl.
he's obviously worked through the "dump the girl, keep the golf" but decided it wasn't an option, hence turning to the forum for help.
all you wags who seem to have very compliant partners, or are just plain single, said "dump the girl", but as i've already stated - the proposer of the thread has probably already worked through that option.
golf + right hand <> golf + girl
if you feel that i have no sense of humour please look up the words sarcasm. incredibly useful and save me having to keep putting smilies.
Tin
(for the non inclined, <> means does not equal)

>:( yes i think we all know the meaning of the word and just in case you don't know it "is the lowest form of wit" which i very pleased to say that your comments fall handsomely into. speaking for myself and no doubt many others,i am very much attatched and have a very understanding other half,and my comments like the others were only meant in jest, i'm sure matey concerned will come to an appropriate compromise............meanwhile go and get yourself a life!!!! :P

Forgive me for having the NERVE to answer a question on this forum in a semi serious fashion, and actually give a point of view and a little bit of help.
Heavens forbid that I ever do anything like that again.
I shall remeber that in future i will respond to the following requests for help with the following answers:
Q: My Golf keeps stalling?
A: Buy yourself a new one, its probably terminal :P
Q: Do these wheels look good?
A: no mate, they looking f*cking awful ;D
Q: Does anyone know where i can get a repray as I've accidently scratched my car?
A: Scrap it mate - why repair it when you can buy a new car? :D
Q: Should i buy an 8v or 16v? I really want a fast car...
A: neither mate, go buy a second hand Elise 8)
So, after your refreshing "slap down", you will find that i do have a life, and that my participation on this forum is to help and have fun.
Obviously, i'm not allowed to help, and I expect you to start following up on every other "helpful" person on this forum, who does not live up to your standards of "light heartedness", "jest" and any other adjective that you can think of that inspires a smile.
Please remember the following things to tell helpful people - "go and get yourself a life!!!! :P".
Feel free to post a lists of offenders. Together, we shall clear this forum of anyone deemed helpful. The B*stards. For you, have shown me the errors of my ways!
I suggest that to start with you post a quick message to VR6. Very occasionally he says something interesting and helpful, banish him - for he is a HELPFUL person.
Also, richandhazel - he too is helpful. What is truly disgraceful is that his post are not only interesting - but i have occasionally learnt something from him. Quick, start a poll and ask jv to ban him. Good idea, i'll second you.
We can also promote Golfgal to be our queen - she never says anything helpful. We could worship her, for after 1500 posts - absolutely nothing of interest has been typed by her.
Tin
BTW apologies to Golfgal. I'm not taking the rise out of you or anyone else. I'm not going to be slandered for writing an interesting response to a post. We all participate in this forum for our own reasons, and we are all equal.
But obviously, if you are using sarcasm, please make sure you include lots of smilies like this:
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :P :P :P
See, completely meaningless, but it seems to pacify some of the locals ???

All this 'do as I say or else' nonsense has gorra stop, fella. Here's ya choices as I see it......
i) Get a job playing a hen-pecked sap in a soap opera
(a la Steve Mcdonut in Coronation Street) :(
ii) Sell the Golf and be the laughing stock of family and friends ;D
ii) Build a patio ;)

SORRY TO HAVE JOINED DEBATE A BIT LATE IN THE DAY.
Do not get rid of the car!
Either - 1) Change girlfriend, they're easy to come buy
and you might find one that is into the car
aswell. My wife is as big a Golf anorak as me
we got rid of our cavalier and have 2 mod'd
mk2's.
2) Let her know that my 16v was hit at speed
in the side by a mercedes sprinter van my
baby son was in the car and was fine and
the mercedes van was worse than my car.
3) Just tell her to SHUT IT and that you know
what you are talking about, you don't tell
her about ford ka's ad saxo's do you? so
why can she be telling you about golf gti's.
