Hi all, another newbie
« on: 25 January 2009, 16:31 »
Hi all

A little bit of history on my VAG ownership. Started many moons ago with a 1985 Scirocco GTX that my uncle gave me. It needed too much work in the end so it made way for...................a 1981 MK1 Golf GTi 1.6.

That too needed work (new radiator, brakes, complete engine rebuild) but due to losing the garage space it had to go (gutted is an understatement) before it was finished.

Had a few months with a Leon Cupra R when I met the missus, and a few years later a Mk3 Golf CL. Which kind of fell apart on a daily basis and in the end went to the great VW garage in the sky lol

That was a year ago and I'm now hunting for a decent Mk1 or MK2 GTi again. Hopefully wont take too long.......will it?!

Cheers guys

I hate looking for cars, I always start out with the exact 2-3 I want then it snowballs when I get tempted by others.

Can now add a 16v MK3 to the list of wanted :grin:
