bought me self a boat.... pics now added
« on: 21 August 2006, 20:17 »
well after 9 months of none vw ownersh@t i sold the ickle mr2 this morning.. and then the money sat burning a hole in my online banking balance so i scanned ebay and bought my self a boat.... ermcough cough sorry mk3..... normally a mk2 fan but there holding silly money and i cant find the bargins like i used to, and i cant afford another mk4 gti as ivr got me motorbike but i still needed some transport for them wet days.. and theres too many of them as of late..

so i got a 1993 k plate mk3 3door vr6, scabby white in colour.. with moon miles on the clock, but with bbs wheels and taxed and tested i aint moaning for £510....   :evil:  pick it up tomorrow nite... if its a reeto nail then it will be 'buffed' up a tad and bunged straight back on ebay.. lol ill bung some pics up when i get it so you can all have a giggle....

and no... nothing planned for it.. other than making sure everything works as it should and doctoring any rough bits..

 :grin:

scarey thought this.. and never thought i'd do it but if i need to know anything i might have to venture into the darkside 'mk3 section'....... :grin: :grin: :grin:

Anyone that's got a mk3 is actually thinking long-term , with the sea levels rising they'll be the the only one's that will be of any use. :tongue: :grin:
