Needs a good clean and some alloys, and a New GTi badge on the back (which I happen to have a new one of lol)

Not a bad car that by the look of it. Well worth it if it goes cheap and a bit of T cut and a felt pen wll sort that scratch out.

Lol I have 3, yes 3 ruge furio touch up pens (Bristol street got muddled) so I can donate one instead of a felt tip

Bloody odd rear lights, yet another! ARGH!

hhmm, but no, I'll pass on this one, although low mileage...

But no, I must say no.

Just a abit, it just looks wrong, and theres no excuse for it!
Theres a guy witha BX on the Gloucester Road, the O/S light unit is smoke tint P2, the N/S light cluster is coloured P1!

If I ever see anyone getting into that car, I'll punch them in the face for being a knob.

Maybe I need to stay in more................

Winning attitude dude and I like it! When you've done that could you pop round and bitch slap my neighbour for having some very sad rally car stylee read mudflaps and saddo chrome rear light trims on his car? It makes my eyes hurt when I look out of the window

Why thank you sir!

Consider it done mate, if said tarted car has only got a poxy 1litre engine and a baked bean tin exhaust, I'll go as far knee-capping the loser...

Are you going to Stratford Rob?? I'd love to see that blue GTi in the metal.

Doc,

On those dates 31st,1st,2nd ill be in macclesfield with the red 16v (well just leaving that weekend) Would love to go to the stratford meet but would have to see how far stratford is from macclesfield and how much fuel the valver would chew then work out how far it is from stratford back to st austell and how much fuel id need for that??. If i did come id obviously be in the red 16v. The blue gti is currently on local journeys only at the mo as the clutch is right on the end and will fail shortly. How a clutch can be worn out at 86,000 miles is beyond me but i guess it could have had a woman driver

. dads clutch in the green valver has only just been done and it was the original taken out at 183,000 miles!!.

hhmm, yeah, that would be a fair trek I guess, although it would only be a small deviation to Stratford from Macclesfield.
Still a long drive back to St. Austell though. I love it there incidentally. My coach was based there for 7 years, and my best mate is from Lostwithiel so I'm down that way quite often.
You live in the best county mate, given the choice I'd move down there tomorrow.

Killing clutches is easy! I've murdered the TD's in 9K miles!

Next one will be a full race clutch!

Still, I'd rather change BX clutches all day long than EVER do another Mundano clutch...

Doc,

You are correct........ Its a lovely part of the country to live in and beats holidaying here. Night life and girls are good down here. I regularly go to newquay, truro, and plymouth out on the lash if a group of us decides to go. only last friday i was in my local scocial club drinking carlsberg cold for only £1.50 a pint and enjoying the disco

. On the stratford front ill look in to it otherwise im afraid i wont be at a meet untill next year (unless theres possibly another meet later towards the end of the year?)
