:Djust wanted to share my enjoyment with u guys after i spent a full day driving my cab - i havent really been able to drive it very much since i bought it in September, mainly because of weather but also because of lack of funds and the car not being ready. ive had the odd ride round the block and stuff but nothing major.
today was completely awesome, she hasnt been in for the bodywork and respray yet but she is finally roadworthy and i spent the entire day with the top down and boy did i have fun - i had atleast 3 hoots and numerous waves from other dubbers. A guy stopped and chatted to me about it in a petrol station and i felt really proud.
if the fun i have had today is anything to go by im so pleased that the money i have spent so far and will b spending in the future is totally worthwhile - for the first time ever she is parked outside my house rather than 6 miles away and i cant stop looking out the window - she looks feckin lovely ;D
sorry about the long selfish post but i really do feel quite emotional and i swear im not drunk :'( im just really happy ;)
to anyone thinking about getting a cab - DO IT (starsky and Hutch style) 8)
thanks for hearing me out - im just gonna go rest my arms for a day or two ;) ;D

Its great when you finally get to use a cab like it should be used.
You'll have to get used to random people wanting to stop and talk to you about it - it happens to me all the time. It does make you feel great though.
Jusy wait for a nice hot day, and you're stuck in traffic with the roof down, feeling really smug as all the other drivers look on in envy 8)

Nice one, thats what owning a VW is all about. Took the kids down to the beach after work for a bit and in the car park a spotty yoof in a j reg fiesta said "don't like MK1 golfs".
Ah well, best sell it and look for a fiesta then ;).

its funny cos for the last 6 months ive been driving a fiesta - its been an experience i guess :-[ i have tried to wear large hats whenever possible.
today i was sat next to a scooby at some lights and I could see in the corner of my eye he was looking at my car, i know he was jealous! ;D

Mine will be out and about tomorrow........and over the weekend 8)
It may remain dormant over the winter months but come the sun ;D 8)

Alright :) I can assure you I didn't drive it home, for that very reason........I just drove it into the home :-[ Live and learn :-[

Fancy another go in the vr6?
sober of course :D
-
I'd love another go in the VR6......... ;)

As long as you BRAKE when you approach junctions, NOT keep your foot to the floor on the gas :D
-
I didn't know there was a junction approaching :D
No harm done........its stops well too ;)
-
It doesn't stop that well, just the mk1/cab brakes.. well might as well not bother.
The vr will stop even better if can get those old rear brakes discs off ::)
-
Agreed........it stopped a lot better than my cab would have done.....but my Audi with its new rear discs and pads......coh! what a difference that has made.......that caliper must have been jamming up for a while, seems to go like a rocket now, and since we drove each others cars the other day........I've been using the manual ever since, much more fun, getting used to it too :D
-
I'm pleased for you Vix, there's nothing quite like having the old roof down and cruising. The weekends supposed to be a cracker, enjoy ! 8)
-
I've just pulled mine out of the garage........carefully this time.......I think I'll be going for a spin today 8)

It's looking sunny up here Rich so hopefully it will be where you are, it would be rude not to go topless when the opportunities arise ;D
I really wish I had got a cab years ago, it would have been nice when I actually had some hair :( Where's that sun block :D
