missus whingin about my valver

[Rodriguez]

I feel sorry for you guys.

Must be really pretentious where you live.  All I get is kudos for driving what obviously isn't far from a classic.  (Maybe the odd remark about early mid-life crisis )


My advice is to keep keep it clean and as close to OEM as you dare. (and to the OP: There's plenty more fish in the sea )

Get it sparkling clean and well sorted, and if she still laughs, dump her for she clearly has no taste

Generally I find that anyone who appreciates cars, trip over their tongues at the sight of a nice Mk2.

Then on the other hand people who follow trends and generally don't have a clue what they're on about until the next trend comes along to give them their identity, are the ones who frown upon your shiny and well kept old Golf.

The garage where i take my MK2 love it! He did comment on it as i picked it up "I wish we could work on MK2's all the time", but they clearly have taste... They are a VW specialist, and opened their garage in like 1989 or something, and they had 'defected' from a stealership, so knew what they were talking about. Plus, they are the only garage to have worked on my car since 1990 odd, so they know the car well. In response to the original post, to most people its either :
a) young peple jealous of cool Golf, or
b) old person who remembers owning one/wanting one when they were first out.

Very few people dont understand...

A woman who i work with was saying its a bit sad going to vw 'conventions!'

After explaining for about 10mins you either get what its about or you dont she was still convinced that conventions were a bit sad, she looked a bit shocked when i told her it was no sadder than her going to bed early to read a book!

Sorry to hear that mate, my Mrs occasionally moans when I buy stuff for the car instead of for the house or pay rent 
 but overall she gets my vw habit.
When I met her she liked Supras and Celicas now she knows what a mk1 polo/ Audi GT looks like and will point out tasty cars when we're out (She even took a photo of a mint black mk1 when she was out as she thought I'd appreciate it!). I am considering marrying her
She liked my polo and my mk3 but she LOVES my mk2 valver as it's distinctive amongst jelly moulds, perhaps it being green is a factor too

The major stick I get is a few of my friend's calling it a f**kin' shoebox. Pisses me off 'cause he likes Peugeots, and wants a new Civic (even tho he doesn't drive)

[sharpie]

sell it and buy a MGF, birds love that stuff.
