Time for introduction!
« on: 22 June 2010, 12:58 »
Hello all,

Ive been avidly reading posts for a while now, and thought its about time I did one of my own. Despite working through a few things on my late mk2 8v, ive not needed anything answered that I couldnt find on here already- very comprehensive site. Love the project threads (particularly impressed with the efforts of phil88- no fear)

My car is a running project really, that is, I like to use it on the weekends/evenings, so I dont want it in bits for weeks at a time- despite the temptation to do a full rebuild and create a minter! I can see how some end up with multiple golf's! I try to do as much of the work myself as I can, but allow limited equipment and experience to justify having 'bigger' jobs done by a local chap who does a lot of work on rally cars, and he's keen on mk2's so its all good.

When im not burning v-power on the many fun backroads in Dumfries and Galloway, or tinkering, ill be in the forest on a bike. So anyone interested in riding/driving the lesser known trails/roads of D&G feel free to get in touch....

Once again- Hello!

Rob

Welcome to the forum. :afro:

Get yourself into the MK2 section and start asking questions if you need any help with things. Enjoy.

(ive spent this evening collecting and fitting BBS RA's to the 'red one', and enlisting with photobucket... all the photo's are to demonstrate me finally figuring out how to add them to posts! Now a happy bunny!)
