yeh i remeber seeing a gti cab about 2yrs ago and fall instanly in love with it and wanted one ever since.
then a friend told me there was a cheap one localy and i jumped at it. its needs a bit of work but nothin i cant deal with..
me mini was (well is) my pride and joy im goin miss it loads but ive got bored of it aswell, it seems slow now when i can get it round round abouts at 85-90mph :?  hehe
i was wonderin weather get rid of me cab for a gti but ill see how this goes first cuz ppl tell me the performace isnt that much difference,
 im a new to the dub scene and i wanna no if theres any clubs?????

Yeah there are clubs but this is the best one ! people will always try n help out just ignore the purists who critisise if a car doesnt look the way they think it should ! must say tho the cabriolet gti is alot faster than the std model , what type n year have you got , mines an 87 gti with a tuned lump . Have you had a butchers round the buyers guide yet , i found it quite helpfull even after id brought mine  . Say again tho if uve never been make sure you get to bug jam this year . :D

yeh im oly looking at 15" dont think any bigger look right.. the ones i like i think are called mimm diamond cut (black and silver)
the car aint flat now the previous owner had been prating about set up the fuel system rong i had no fuel return to the tank so stunk of petrol all the time and i was only gettin 30mile to 10quid lmao
and theyd welded up the carb for sum reason  :? still dont really no why.. but iver had a new carb, dizzy(that as broke), plugs, cam belt changed, timing set up, oil - filter changes, and the fuel set up put rite now runs 100% better.
but i got me eye on a sportline  :lol:  when i sell me car i can afford one and im cosidering it
