Colt looked tidy.. My missus always wanted one of those as her first car, silly girl got a KA instead.  :sick:

Golf looks like a great car to play with, even if you don't do anything for a while I'm sure you'll enjoy it just as it is.

Cheers Dude, there both sitting in the drive way :grin: Loving the fact Iv got 2 of my favourite styled cars sitting there :cool: although I think im going to break the Colt :cry: to free up a 1k or so to plow into the dub!! Not going to Lie, I do miss the handling from the colt and how that engine loved to rev :shocked: but I guess thats been replaced with Torque and boost  :laugh:

Cheers for the welcome everyone seems like a very friendly and helpfull Club, Il be sure to get a project up and running soon


Yeah we're not bad bunch here.  :wink:

When you say break the colt do you mean the bods or all of it!...  :shocked:

Yeah it's quite a bit different, decent TD vs decent revvy motors.  My daily is a TD and the mk1 is, well a mk1...  they are quite similar speed wise but always have to adapt when you climb out of one to get in the other.

Was going to say!... bit harsh to break the whole car, looked alright.  :grin:

Good spec, I take it you're going to sell the car after its been put back to standard then.

Yeah 180 in a TD is plenty and more can be had if you ever got bored of it...  It's the early gear changes that get me and the luxury of hardly having to change down as they will happily pull in any speed in any gear.
