what have i been up to?
alright peeps, been a long time, so thought id update u all. after selling my mk1, gutted as i was, i was rolling round in my mk2 polo, then a friend of mine had his car nicked and begged me to sell him the polo, as he was strapped for cash and needed a motor i did him a deal with 1 proviso, that when he wants to sell it i get first dibs on it. so, that meant i needed a car to roll in, and as this was silly cheap i thort why not, u only live once:
ta da!! this is only a temporary car for me, its lacks the soul and character of a mk1 so tomorrow im goin to look at another golf, it will be a full resto project, but im keepin a level head and not goin to bite off more than i can chew, so watch this space.
spec is also a '94 rado vr6 2.9 , and amazingly, cheaper to insure than the golf?!! :?

Do you have a really cool mum, or was that a subtle poke?

Speak for yourself, my right bum cheek gets a good old clean on a regular basis still
Shame about the MK1, but you need to start off with something pretty solid I guess, keep us updated
