Will post pics of my awesome colour (tabac) for you all to drool over with some before and after shots!!! Forget oak green for rarity, you wait until you see this little puppy.

Oak Green is only rare in ebay listings or in the classifieds of E38.  :grin:

What colour is Tabac when it's at home?
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Its a burgandy, with gold? Metallic laquer. In the sun its a cracking red, in the shade its a bit darker. My mates say its brown, but its not, its bootifull. Every show I've been to I've had comments on how people have never seen another the same, I've seen one but it wasn't metallic. I think on clubgti I may have spotted one the same, and it was also a 1.3cl to begin with so I'm pretty certain its the same without seeing it in the flesh.. Will defo have to get some pics this summer, been meaning to for a couple of years now!! Lovely colour imo, and uber rare. No. Plate says.   H*** UNG also . Winner, I only paid £100 for it 7years ago!

Sounds like brown to me.

Most things that are a bit burnt are brown, if they are a lot burnt, they are black.

Time is fast approaching for Taxing the Golf again, its been laid up since the end of November, I'll start off with a full service, including changing the gear box oil, brake fluid and antifreeze, and may treat her to some Goodrich Flexi hoses  :lipsrsealed:
Followed by a full compounding, and probably removing the rear wheel arch mouldings to check for rust, and re apply some decent cavity wax...
Anyone else doing similar?

Yup, same here been off the road since october. just renewed the insurance, waiting to tax, DVLA will not let me take it off sorn until march 31st online but they say i have 5 days grace do display the tax disk.

collect it from bro inlaws garage. Oil + filters change, wash and polish then enjoy (lots of driving)  :cool:
