how i feel about my motor
« on: 02 June 2009, 22:34 »
is unhappy with his choice in buying an 8v 1.6

i really do wish that id brought a 16v GTI, so much more about them, but insurance is such a problem.
So i'm probably just going to wait a while and save:)

The 16v GTI is group 16 :) so no good for a 17 year old ayy:)

but hopefully be getting one soonish, its not that mine isnt fast, cause its fairly nippy, just guess it has nothing on the 16v:)

ah well we all have hopes ayy;)

only got to wait a year, do a few choice mods that can be transfered, and then when u can, get the car u want.

I came back to the uk at 19, got into dubs, and worked a job to save up for my gti. Much better when u wait for it ;)

Not a real issue in starting with a GL, Shadys is a 1.6 or 1.8 GL which with a few choice mods and nice wheels looks stunning as and when he switches to a GTI he can transfer all the parts over apart from the wheels.

We all have to start somewhere.

dude im 18, got an 8v gti and paying 1550 TPFT. Not bad for an 18 year old i reckon! I cant find insurance on a 16v though, only 16v mk2, not mk3, so i reckon you shall be waiting a while before you can drive a 16v.
