Any other ladies here? Golf mkIII pics added

[Vesper]

Just doing some respraying this morning and stumbled across this site. 

I've been a VW owner since I had enough shiny pennies to buy my first car. Therein my obsession began! I started out with a VW polo (which obviously I wished was a golf - couldn't afford one), but I have a lot to thank the old girl for. Couldn't afford to get work done on it so I had to learn to do everything myself whilst my friends were taking their car to the garage to get a lighbulb changed - or even more pathetic (wait for it) getting air put in their tyres.  I would see their eyes glaze over after they asked what I had been doing all day and I launched into an explanation of whatever particular bit of my car I was fixing. Usually they would recommend I 'get a new car that was under warranty so all that stuff is sorted'   

After many happy years with my polo, I finally got my golf. I very nearly didn't buy it when the salesman commented what a lovely ladies blue it was! But the engine sounded beautiful, that lovely VW whine and after some heated negotiation over the clutch I browbeat the poor chap into replacing it, taxing the car and knocking £100 off the price - I think I knocked his 'how to sell to ladies' patter right off kilter.

One day I might get my dream GTI - but for now I have my much loved plain old mk3 in 'lovely ladies blue', and as of today she'm got matching grill and wing mirrors  Hope you chaps don't mind me bargin' in - it'll be nice to chat to some fellow VW lovers!

Good work, welcome to the site!

Cheers for the welcome. I could spend hours on here! 

I should be doing some work on my car now (the air filter housing is shattered and needs replacing - the hose is held up by an intricate web of string and duck tape lol!), but keep convincing myself it's going to rain any minute. Wish I had a garage - if only to hide my car in after seeing all your slick works of art  Looking at all your cars has demotivated to the point of not being arsed to undo a few screws

what difference does it make if you are male of female?

If we're talking standing up to pee then lots! In terms of cars - no real difference except I often need help undoing bolts. In that sense, jam jars also get the better of me too.

Just wondered if there were many other gals on this site - I have yet to meet another female VW enthusiast. T'is all.

Just snapped some pics of my wreck - had some dodgy Irish guys cruise past and ask if I was selling it for scrap - the f&^%$£"g nerve!!!!!! I can understand why they thought I might be selling it as I was taking pictures - but SCRAP

Here's my baby with her newly painted wing mirrors & grill (still needs lacquer coat):



Rusty wheels - alloys definately on the shopping list.





Horrid lexus style lights - what the hell was I thinking! I want to put a gti spoiler on the back and I think I'll put the original lights back in or go for something darker & smoked perhaps. Once I get some more paint I'll do the pointless trim thing above the numberplate to match.



Newly painted wing mirror - I'm quite chuffed with the finish. Once the new stuff is laquered I recon the colour will be a pretty good match.

Thoughts, suggestions?
