So I've got a new car...
« on: 15 October 2011, 14:49 »
A mint 20VT 2002 plate in tornado red to be more specific. It's newer, safer, more comfortable.. but just not that fun.

But I want a MK2 again.

the Mrs is going mad, what do you guys reckon?

yeah, but I dunno - It's nice. It's just not a MK2. It's an AUM engine code, and I've been quoted 210bhp from a map.

I just keep looking at MK2's and drooling.

I'm thinking of swapping with cash my way.

The thing is, with more techy and newer cars comes more expensive repairs and less DIY mechanics.

I just <3 MK2's and miss mine  :cry:
