We didnt have a stand, just the hof.. I was walking round all day tho and as simon says, how can you miss me… LOL

I normally wear a hoodie or tee shirt with Lawsy accross the shoulders so can be found, plus with the size of me, not easily missed..

Thanks for loving the hof tho, he's now a little lower than he was at players too!!!!

Was funny, i got a few straneg looks when i wanted to go in show n shine area..

Top quality mate - stick it on the bonnet in a Rolls Royce stylee…

all in good time

i got an idea, but as said above, its all in my head,nothing fancy tho as i dont do that!!

but gotta slam and fur out my b3 passat estate first, plus finish house..

only plan so far is it'll stay low and go to 1.8

Its been a while since i poste dup an update on this thread

The hofs fate still hasnt been determined tho, but i have a good plan in my mind, depends no how bad he is when i start stripping back.


In the meantime tho, some of you know I've beentrying to sell a mk2 GL witha 40K 1.8 auto in it, i've had no luck selling so have decided to break, yes its a shame!! But i'm sure the engine will go down well in the hof with some nice juicy carbs!! but that maight be some time!

So i'v started stripping the mk2 now, dont hink anyone will want anything on here, if so, check out my threa don the mk2 owners site!

Anyways, page 10 of here saw the introduction of Colin the mk3 estate!
colin's a good little trooper with a great engine, but i couldt get on with him, so i sourced a passat estate to use a daily.. Which has now developed faults of its own      so decision was made to sell Colin, tried a few sites and got a few sniffs, then an offer of a few swaps, one in particular took my fancy!!

So a few weeks later, a deal was struck and here it is, Jenjy the MK2, he's a ratty GTD 1.6 TD Intercooled  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen: so he's gonna whacked a bit more with the lowering in time (once the passat is sorted) and then abused for a bit!!





then maybe, with some luck I'll get started on the hof!! Plans still secret tho  :mrgreen:

You can't resist buying more VWs can you!!!
