Accidental New VW Owner.......

Hey, hows it going…..

Just thought that i would say hiya, accidently bought a Mk1 Golf Gti Karmann Cab on ebay from preston and drove it 330 miles home. Glad i did it now but i will say, you do miss the luxury of a modern car, but the modern car doesnt put that big a smile on your face and doesnt get noticed as much were this car does……. Its quality.

welcome fellow white cabby owner very nice indeed, very simular to mine atm looks good

It DOES look like Parkers….. excellent stuff…. best accidental buy ever  :wink:

Hi and welcome.
Congratulations, that looks like a very neat and tidy cab! After a little while you won't even miss the luxuries of a modern car, simplicity wins the day…there's less to go wrong! Hope you enjoy many happy miles together.  

welcome to the site, car looks great  8)

also you can change the oil without having a laptop, put new pads on without having to disconnect battery and change a main beam bulb without haing to take the bumper off or remove the wheel arch liner.

so one or two advantages to offset the negatives.

Awesome buy! I also accidentally got one off ebay! Picked it up friday and love it already. Only took a couple of days to master the lack of power steering. Hope you love yours just as much

welcome, can you please tell me how you accidently brought a car.

i'll try it with the wife next time i buy another mk1 without telling her :wink:

Welcome..Nice Cabby, looks like a good buy!
