I'm defecting.....
« on: 23 September 2007, 22:21 »
from Vauxhall that is.  :wink:

Firstly, Hello one and all.

I'm taking charge of my first VW on Tuesday, a mk 2 1.6 Driver.
I've been driving Vauxhall's now for the last five years and fancied a change.

Is there anything in particular I should look out for before I commit to buying?

They try that now :grin:

I drive a Nova at the moment and they appear to like chasing me all over the place.

Then soon after, they find out the hard way that is is running a 2.0 16v "Redtop" that is pushing the 175 bhp mark!!  :cool:

It's the shape I like, I like the look of "Boxy" shaped cars and the mk 2 Golf seems to be a good alternative.
Nice, simple clean lines.
