Thank you for welcoming.  :smiley: There are 3 Golfs there actually. The blue one in Mk3 Variant VR6. The Mk2 is the only GTi 16V in Thailand so it's very hard to find experienced mechanics. I've learned so much from this forum. In fact, I'm trying to get my hand on ISV controller from the UK (it's not available here).

It will get a fresh coat of paint in March. I still have idle and high oil temp problem to solve. My mk1 is '74 LS spec with 1.5L auto' transmission built in Aug '74!

Hi Micky Here from Derry city in N, Ireland,  best known for all the negatives of the last 30 years,  the car scene in this town is fantastic with lots of modified cars from Mk1 GTi's,  Clippers to bog standard 1.3Mk2's there is also quite a number of clubs now running,  currently a proud owner of a  P reg Mk3 TDI 5 door,  debadged,  twin smoked hella's at front with fogs,  rear boot spoiler by irschmer with front debadged grill sitting on a set of 16" Momo sports,  interior is bog standard with an alloy gear know and a Panasonic FX88 headunit with 6 disc changer,  my 2nd car was purchased last week and is a standard Vw Golf Gti 16V on an E reg,  i am keeping this to do a full restore,  hopefully get some pictures on soon
Oh and how could i forget to give Keith Barber a mention at www.thornhillautos.com probably one of the most knowledgeable on the VW scene over the last 50+ years and holds nearly anthing you cherish for your beloved Dub.


If it is a 90 mph per hour wind and you drive your car at 90mph downwind, if you stick your head outside would you feel the wind?

only just seen i hadnt posted in this one yet! what hav e i been playing at!?!

Right Im origionally from the east coast of norfolk, a little village called horsey, about 10 miles south of Cromer. I moved to Norwich last year, then in a crazy moment of uncertainty, decided to accept a job, and moved to Guernsey! I left my long term girlfriend behind (we are still together mind) an ok job, a house and all my family having never even seen this place before!

Been here 3 1/2 months now tho and have settled in fairly well. Got a lovely flat with fantastic sea views, right next to the golf course i play and work at. And im makin regular trips back to the motherland whenever i can, to see the family, play in tournaments and hopefully visit a few more shows than last year!

Sure u didnt eed the life story but what the hell, iv typed it now so youv got it!

thats the best mk3 ive seen..ever! its just clean and subtle.. :cool:
