I understand what you get.... my family ask why I run an old wreck!! (despite the fact its in better condition both mechanically and bodywise than most 5 year old cars!)

The problem is that to most people ours Mk2's are just 20 year old cars.

You either get dubs, or you dont.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I hate that!!!

I went for MOT last year and mechanic called my valver an old banger!!!!!

It's in great nick, was well annoyed.

At least on here we can all appreciate our fine motors!

the simpel soultion is to declare your golf to be a TOY   that way you don't have to justify anything you do to it or anything it dose.   because it is a toy no one can argue against that.  hell i'm thinking of buying an old omega as a daily and a trailer to drag the golf about on so i don't have to wrry about breacking it when playing.
