New bird on the block. . .
« on: 27 November 2005, 23:01 »
Hi guys and gals

Thought i would give a quick intro seeing as i am new here :smiley:

My name is Lottie and i am in Oxfordshire, i have just purchased a 1986 Mark 2 1.8 GTI 8 valve in jade green i think lol, please forgive my ignorance but this is the first time i have owned a golf. It is in a a bit of a poor state body wise but mechanically it runs like a dream (which i found pretty impressive for a 19 year old car).

I brought as i needed a run around while i took my 205 1.9 GTI of the road  as that is going to be having a new engine fitted and i wanted something that was suitably on par with the 205. I have only had the golf for a couple of weeks and i have to be honest i am hooked lol, it is definitely a keeper and with a bit of TLC should be back to it's former glory.

Welcome to the forum.

And as I'm sure you will find out, these guys LOVE their MK2's.

Have a look around, you will find loads of advice, hints and tips.

Welcome to you Lottie!

You better not be putting an Mi 16 engine in that 205! Grrrrrrr! :laugh:  (I have one!) (the car)

Forget the 205 and spend the money on the Golf! (even if it is a Mk2)

Oh and photos please! :wink: :laugh:
