hi everyone i'm simon, from mansfield was a motorway recovery driver on the m25 when I first posted and
Did used to own a mk3 8v gti
Did used to own a mk1 octavia vrs

Now on class 1 artics working from home.

Not been around for a while due to new work and stuff but things have changed. The mk1 was sold as 2 cars were needed, I like driftin so I brought a road legal Volvo 340 drifter runnin a 1.7t engine and plenty of trick bits (7x15" ats cups amongst other things!) and I brought our lass a punto which I swapped last night for an S plate mk4 golf gti 125bhp non turbo. Now it's got a bang on the rear end and the guy I got it off thinks it's a shocker but i'm not so sure?, are there any common probs with bushes or anything? Just so I no what to look for?

Cheers
Si

anyway enough waffle: hello everyone
