Crap Heap Challenge
« on: 12 July 2007, 13:44 »
Apparently, if you laugh at yourself and share things you start to feel better.... ahem, here goes...

I've changed my job, which meant that I would no longer have a company car. I was a very nice Audi A3 Sportback 140PS Diesel, so I accepted the new job with a hint of regret. Nonetheless, I took pleasure in promising myself a new Golf GTI, Diamond Black, DSG, 18" Monzas, Cruise, Ipod etc - and ordered the car as soon as I had confirmation of the new job.

Unfortunately the lease company for the old car wouldn't budge from taking the car back on 29 June - and the new Golf won't be available until the 3rd week of August - might as well hold off and get a 57 reg on 1st September.

That left me with a gap to fill, as I needed a car to get around in the interim! Renting would have cost a fortune, and I didn't want the hassle of buying/selling privately - so the guy at the dealership introduced me to someone who'd sell me a 'basic' car and buy it back (less £200) in a couple of months time.

I've really had to suck in my man-pride for this one - I'm sure it will be worth it in the end, but..........  :cry: :cry:

Please, be gentle!

Yeh, drop it about 20mm on koni's and some 19 inch BBS. Then maybe a votex body kit and REVO remap and a straight through exhaust.

No seriously, surviving the sh1t heap will make the GTi more fantastic when it arrives.


...they will buy it back.... less 200. In a few months you may have to pay them to take it.

Damn that's sweet. Can't believe someone has removed the standard fit pillows and flat cap from the rear shelf though.

Im in the same boat as you buddy
I was made an offer on my old 2.2 Sri astra so it had to go.
I now have a beige 1.6 premier MK3 astra with lots of dents and rust.

Never mind only 3 weeks to go!!
