Making up a story about Shady stirring DHs tea with his cock after DH apparently pranged his car getting the engine out with a teleporter. IIRC.  :grin:

Forums seem to be a bit of a dying breed, it's all stupid FB nowadays. I used to be on here all the time (joined back in 2006) but now it's just too quiet  :sad:

Of course I'm completely anti-social and have never met anyone off this forum, although once I parked up next to someone off here in Morrisons car park. That was the closest to Golf based socialisation I ever got  :grin:

I do however still have the same Mk2 so, not all bad!

I dont agree. Myself and most of my mates all had vw's 5 years ago. Now we drive bmw m3's, focus RS's and the likes of. Now all the young lads in my town drive honda's and skid cars.

I honestly think people are moving on from golfs. They sell their cars to normal commuters that dont come on forums. 

As I've said the m3 forum is very busy and always something new happening. Maybe its the age and the majority being older and not going on FB or whatever.

Perhaps it's just my experience, I've definitely noticed a general decline in all the forums I go on, not just Golf or car related ones, and other people make the same observation...

Fiestaturbo was my absolute favourite, it's where I met my partner and still see friends from there today. That declined when they decided to make a hidden area for long time members, bad mistake that killed the board.

I've been around for a while but only just drop in to update my Midas rebuild thread as there's not that much activity anymore. Amusingly I only had a GTi for 18 months whilst registered on here before replacing it with my Bora. Still got it...

And VR6Wherry, you're welcome - I loved that thread as well  :laugh:
