Hi from sunny scotland
« on: 23 November 2014, 12:12 »
Thought I'd pop in and say hi to everyone as I'm on the lookout for a nice oak green GTi. Finding one is a hell of a lot harder than I thoght tho.

My proper name is Alex and I drive class 2 lorries for 3663 for a living.

My current car is a highly modded mk2 Leon Cupra. I'd post pics but I'm not sure if that's against the rules on here.

Anyways, I'm sure you'll all get pissed at me sooner or later asking all the newbie questions over the next few months lol.

Hi Alex, A pal of mine had an Oak Green one sitting in his yard a while, i'll ask if hes still got it - it was very tidy from memory but needed mechanical work which he was planning on doing. Let me know if you're still looking - it would look good cruising around Callender park!

Thanks for the welcome folks.

This is the wife and I's daily driver family car. It's a facelift mk2 Leon Cupra running stage 2+ mods. Had it for nearly 2 years now and we love it. Plenty room for the wee one and the weekly shop but a proper weapon when I want it to be lol.

So onto the golf. After wanting one for a long time I found one by pure chance. My mate bought it a few months ago and spent a fortune getting it up to scratch and has now lost interest so I had to have it. Got some nice plans for it but they'll be slow as its a project for me and I want to take my time with this one.
