old vs young and our cars

Well im 29 dunno where i fall, cant be an oldie surely. But the street talk is lost on me……….

Most of you will know my mk1 :mrgreen:

Fair play to your cabby ben.

you go much?

And its sound lawsy, thought youd have heard of it, thats all.

 im 36 this year……….still act, and always will 18  and when your old you have more pocket money  more know how  less insurance to pay ………  and you smell of wee and mint imperials

But Oldies definately know where its at with styling! I cut my teeth on GTI International 1994 :wink: ……..some of the people on here were still at play school!!!!

you young mob dont remember skinheads and Mods…….you dont remember the FIRST time around for all this retro Adidas stuff……….and you dont remember when brand new mk1`s drove past you fresh from the dealers!!

So old is wise……..but young is spirit……..never cuss an old guy with a gti…check maurice reeves out!!! hes a nutter!! and about 70

every word you speak is the truth just starting with the wee smell

as for maurice reeves true legend that car is mad

ahahahaha, i agree.

I wouldnt anyway just cus id apreciate their car so much, theres and old bloke up the road with a black gti and sais hes woned it since new, i went and asked if he wanted to sell it cus i wanted to restore it as theres holes in the boot etc and hes doing nothing about it, i said its worth alot to me as ive seen it since i was a littleun n that and think its a minter.

He at first couldnt see that i could like it so much at first then he said he didnt want to sell it as it was worth alot to him, i said id ifnd it hard to take it off his hands as he obviously loves the car insane amounts due to memories etc,  i agreed and thought alot of him for just owning it since he bought it from the show room.

Its standard and hasnt been modifyed and he uses it on occasions.

And theres another whos got a Lancia Delta who lives up the road, see him working on it sometimes and also seen him driving it a few times (It looks and sound stupidly nice)

So i agree, some of you are dark horses.

plus when your all gone,whos going to look after the beloved mk1 then.....

I'm old and my car has more style than you can shake a stick at.



Tian

imagine the shock on the face of the evo driver when he pull along side me at the lights he thinks ah bless little gti    

i always look over to say hi which for some reason makes the evo driver rev his engine to which i smile and twist the little nob on my dash which says boost

anyway i hope mr evo enjoyed looking at my rear valance as i dissapeared into the distance

so yes some of us oldies are dark horses when it comes to our cars :wink:

"ts just us 'oldies' dont get ripped off on insurance"

Harsh but very true.

Im not old, well i guess midle ages by some standards (although my partner calls me old ) im 22. but my insurance is not too bad at all.

My cars not young and hip in the way it has eyebrow spoilers and huge wings etc (otherwise known as chav), everything I do to it is for peformance gains, bar the odd little extras like the flashing GTi badge, which sounds vulgar but it rather nice in the flesh,




I guess its more old skool racer, like when the gtis were in the touring cars etc.

if only all the youngies followed your example i think youve got that just about right  :wink:

i pray for the day i can do that.

Its borign not being able too.

BMWs, Scoobys,Evos, Porshes and Farraris would make me smile the most, cant wait to absolutely abliterate them.

Still rockin at 45!!although according to the wife act like a 10 year old at times!!

and tbh, thats a fully dirty looking mk1.

Fair play, what motor you got in it?

Cheers Ben,from a geez who owns a rockin 20VT that means a lot  

when ive got mine and its finished, youl all be saying that.

your arches are evil collo.

Could you please give me a bit of advise on them as i was thinking about putting berg cup arches on another mk1 but id want better wheel alignment so i had thought about making my own bigger arches, as i love the wide stance, especially on a mk1.

At the moment i know i have a few options that id have to do this, but i would like to make these myself as it wouldnt be the same if somone else just welded them on for me…
