i went round the garage this morning to lower the front end finally,but had to take it for a rasp before,even though its got no tax or mot :roll:

You should slap your own wrists 8O
Guna go the long way home I think…. just to get the most of it… hate putting it back…. might get a daily instead of my vectra diesel but it'll be expensive on fuel for the month….

must say that since i have owned it almost 10days i have only driven it on the odd occasion but when i do, i drive like i am in a touring car race and it gives me a massive grin and an adrenline buzz as the focus diesel is just a armchair cruiser in comparison.
nearly everyone that has been a passenger in the golf is shocked how quick an 25year old car is along with how mint the interior and exterior is!
well happy, will be wiring up my system this weekend and then sunday i will put the golf to rest in my garage until i fancy bringing her out again.
i have been looking for a golf mk1 for a very long time and this one will be my 3rd as the other 2 were not in the same league as this one.

Nipped home and took the mk1 out of the garage to show the lads at work…. it's now sitting outside the window and I just want to go out in it again :cry: …. they can't beleive how good it is for it's age or how quick it is… even the moody one of the lot was smiling like a mental patient when I let him have a shot…..
Anyone else only use theirs now and again therefore gutted putting it back in the garage?
Always gutted when I bring mine home again - I usually have it off the road during winter too - which is most miserable!
Cheers,
Drew.
