I'd change the oil in the 16V to prepare it for the next 100k.  :cool:
Let's face it, you love that Golf so much you wouldn't be able to let it go anyway.

I'm sure someone would like to buy a nice Oakgreen, restored by a pro.
And it won't take you very long, right?

oooh.. sorry for all you bufty types. But frankly .. I don't give a toss! it's a car, not a trailer queen. It gets used everyday and I live with it. Its not your so WGAF?

Do you really care so much about the swirls? It's an old car with old paint. There's going to be swirls, scratches, dents etc.

But honestly, Do I care????
