Greetings Golfers!

I'm "Ali" (Alistair), a 23 yo Golf owner from West Brom. I didn't expect to have my Golf for very long before getting something a bit newer and faster, but having driven a few other cars I've seen the GTi light, and I want to return it to it's former glory, with a few tasteful additions, such as some alloys. I have great admiration for any fine engineering, not just cars. It was me mum's, so I know it wasn't thrashed, and always well serviced. Specs in me Sig.

Anyway, this looks like a great place to be, so I'm off to plead for help in the Mk2 forum...  :smiley:

Well, I attempted to get some pics up :sad: but for some reason my Nokia is about the only variant of many similar models and numbers not to accept the cable I have. It fits, recognises it, and a few seconds later throws a hissy fit. Windows still sees a mobile device though, so I smell a moneymaking scheme. That said, it's not half as shameless as The Inky Highwaymen... Messrs Hewlett and Packard  :angry: Nevermind, me mate will be over with his Cannon to take some proper pics next week.

As for a Dub Collection, I'll see if I can get my current one working (and staying working) first. Anyone got a gearbox hanging around?

Great to be part of the site, and I promise a GolfGTi.co.uk window sticker as soon as the old girl looks respectable enough to take one!

Ali


p.s. Dinx: I too have been having camper thoughts for a while... So much scope for personalisation, I dont think I'll be able to resist once I've got the time to devote to it. It's one of those machines that has stuck in my mind since playschool!  :laugh:
