I've been after the car for about 3 weeks now and I sense I'm close :-\
Mayday bank holiday weekend I heard, through word of mouth, down my local, of this mk2 Golf GTI up for sale. The owner is lodging and the landlord wants him to get rid of this car that has been sat there for ages. Loads of money spent on engine mods, alloys, custom exhaust, bee sting aerial etc. Anyway go to look at it only to find he's already sold it for ?300 :o Gutted, the car looked really clean and well cared for and couldn't find any problems >:(
Now turns out the youngster that has bought it can't afford the insurance and so hasn't come and picked it up........guess who's offered to pay the lad the ?300 and take the car instead ;) Fingers crossed :-X
-
OOhh fingers crossed Rich! ;D
U lucky s0d u!
Dinky :-*
-
Good Luck there Rich
P.S Your Coupe, its not going is it to make space?
-
No, Hazels Audi 80 will go.......she keeps saying she wants something smaller ;) you'll probably see less of my Coupe at the shows though ;)
-
wow, what a bargain - fingers and toes are crossed for ya ;) ;D
-
I am so tempted to buy another Mk1 for a restoration project, my last one Sarah walked off with for a steal. Was hoping it had gone to a good home, but after reading about her doing 360's on M roads i begin to wonder! ;D
-
Sarah did a great job of avoiding the back end of my Audi not to mention avoiding hitting anything else.......I can assure you its gone to a good home ;)
My brother in law, Ian, is chasing up the Mk2 for me today, so hopefully will know the outcome later today :-\
-
hope you get it rich, want to sell your mk1, seems a waste to get rid of the audi lol ;D
-
LOL, it won't be my Audi that goes, it'll be Hazels........although I am toying with the idea of getting rid of my one if we get this mk2......we'll have to see :-\
-
good luck Rich, hope you get it mate! ;)
with all this positive thought it's bound to happen.
-
Cheers....... :)
-
good luck.. sounds like its in the bag!! 8)
-
after you showed me the pics of your driveway, i have often found myself thinking "hmm, rich could use another golf" ;) :P
-
Hmmm, it seems no matter what I do, as soon as I shift one, another one just seems to come along. This one really is just too good to let go though ;)
-
I think you nose was made by VW Rich mate.... You always seem to sniff em out when there going for a bargin price :o Its unbelievable mate, gonna get me a VDub nose 2 ???
-
LOL, just had a run of luck, thats all. Not sure that my lucks holding out on this one mind...........still haven't heard and both Hazel and Ian were going to pop over today, whilst I was at work, to find out whats going on, but they didn't get round to it >:(
They're going over tomorrow as they know the landlord very well and can persuade him to persuade their lodger to get rid of it in my direction ;)
Just hope its not too late ::)
-
Rich - exactly how many cars are you planning on bringing to VW Action then? :-\
-
Good luck Rich mate, hope it goes good... Let us know if it happens, I'll come over and have a butchers ;)
Rich - exactly how many cars are you planning on bringing to VW Action then? :-\
It is getting a bit silly isnt it, maybe you should go and see someone Rich mate... ;D
-
There is method in this madness........believe it or not ::)
In the long run, Hazel will have the mk2, I will have my Coupe and the cabrio will be the fun/show car. The other mk1 is going to have to continue gathering dust for a while as I've got too many other things going on at the moment, but one day I'll get around to it.
Hazels Audi 80 and the spare one at her Dads will go. I may be going on permenant nights soon in which case we can go down to one main car, so my Coupe may go soon as well.
So we'll be down to 3 cars, the mk2 and the cabrio, that are running and the mk1 gathering dust.........at least they're all Golf's ;D
-
Rich - exactly how many cars are you planning on bringing to VW Action then? :-\
Just the 2, the cabrio and, hopefully, the mk2 8)
-
Myself, Ian and Dubslug are on our way over to go and have another look at the car, take some pics and hopefully the owner will be in so we can persuade him to let me buy it :)
Fingers crossed 8)
-

I DO!!!! seriously that one tidy oak green golf, certainly looks to be a bargin if rich can use his haggling kills. Pics were taken so u lot will see sometime soon, remember rich u dont want it i do!!!, even if i cant insure it lol. good luck mate
-

Still working really hard on getting this. Spoke to the landlord this afternoon and he is desperate to get rid of it! He's going to have another word with his lodger this evening.......I've even put more money on the table. This is why:-

That looks like a very solid car. Hope it's just as nice under the hood. again good luck to you Rich. ;)
-
thats gonna be a bargain if u get it rich. good luck ;)
-
hope all goes well rich and you can get at a good price!!!
Gaz 8)
you can never have enough vw's!!!!
lol
-
Cheers, I have to admit I'm starting to lose hope............these people really seem to be muppets and just won't talk to each other...........I don't think they are getting on with their lodger very well. I keep trying to make direct contact with their lodger but so far haven't had any joy.
-
Never lose faith untill u know for sure. If i'd done that, my mk1 would be on here for spares by now! ;)
-
Oh don't worry, I'm not giving up ;)
I'm just not as optimistic as I was, but all the while its still there, I'll keep pestering :)
-
Good man, just checking. ;)
-
Its gone :'(
Hope its someone from here or someone that will at least give it a good home :'(
-
Thats guttin that Rich! :'(
Hope it is being looked after!
Dinky :-*
-
rich did the kid take it away then??
that a bi@ch u never got it, but hey u still got the cab ;D
-
nightmare, did look very clean bodywise
i reckon even if the kid wasnt able to afford the insurance, he realised he was sitting on a little goldmine
-
looked like a campaign as well. doh.
