Aeroplane & shuttle bus to Handforth 3 weeks ago, otherwise only use it to pick car up from garage in Hollinwood!! Two hours, 3 trains and ?11 lighter to do what's half an hour & 25miles in the car!! 8O MMmmmm and people wonder why we drive :roll: And I'm guaranteed a seat and choice of music
I no longer have the Mk1!! I now whizz round in a Black 1990 3dr Mk2 GTi 8v but the roof doesn't fold back when the sun shines

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

Sadly I have to at the moment but try to avoid rip off buses by walking to train station and letting the train take the strain

Used the train last year to pick the Mk1 up from Pipewrx where it had its new stainless manifold fitted that turned out to be a nightmare when the studs broke off in the head so off that had to come and many many ?? later :cry:
mind you the trip on the train was good value and fast the strange bit was the mechanic picking me up at the station in my own car :?

…we have free bus passes…
…we decided to go for a day out….
…barely out of town and someone drove into the back of the bus…
…got another bus back into town…..
…decided to go the other way out of town….
…bus lost 1st and 2nd gears up Dover Hill….
..eventually got to Dover…
…on the way back a Neanderthal was driving…foot stamped hard on floor for go or stop……and the partition between the back seat and the engine must have been missing - the heat and noise was terrible…..
…next day was a trip (by car) to a railway conservation society….
..the train we got on broke down……
NEVER AGAIN !!!!

used to fly down to pool on a regular basis as it was quicker and cheaper than the train.
