Yup.

I was 21 when I bought my first GTI, I saved for four years for it - it was 5 years old.

The insurance was outrageous but such good memories. :cool:

I was 18 when I bought my first GTI it was a white A reg MK2 8v with a engineering conversion  :wink:

Cost about 900 quid to insure that 21 years ago  :shocked:

It's very hard for people under 25 to get any kind of car insurance these days, I feel sorry for them as they are missing out on the fun and adventures we had as young guns with nice motors  :wink:

Should have bought a mk1 it was a less than half the price to insure back then compared to a mk2 :wink: I laffed at every mk2 driver in those times. :evil: When insurance went stupid a few years latter for some reason it did not effect mk1's but mk2s went stupid so i laffed even more :evil:

Sounds like you've been doing a lot of laughing  :grin:

I bought an RS500 in moonstone blue (one of 45) for my 21st that cost 2100 quid to insure  :sad:

Still paying through the nose now  :huh:

Well car went in today, no issues with the clutch.
There was a fuel leak though. The garage did an excellent job, car was done in 3 hours, all leaked fuel was cleaned up and gave the car a quick wash too :)
They pulled all the wiring out that I spent all yesterday on so my drivers side headlamp cluster wasn't working but all sorted now :D gonna order the tips tomorrow and windows are being tinted Saturday :D

Hello ;)








Window tints done today, de-badged, and HIDS.
Gave the car a good clean, but to say it was a motorway cruiser before with 40k on it, that paint is in bloody good condition!
The Golf and TDI badges were stuck on a lot firmer then my old Seat badges, the dental floss didn't work and I ran out, so I used a very small electrical flat blade screwdriver with cloth wrapped around it, and Autoglym tar remover, worked a treat :)
All I need now is Vancouver alloys, new bumpers, chrome exhaust and a few interior mods, and that's about it for the first part of the year :) As my original plans will have to wait until I can save some serious cash.
