Any atlas / quick fit near you? sure give them some speel about the exhaust making a noise.
Then when they have it on the lift the problem is revealed they can bang on a new bolt.

Thats far too British for us, I would say a pack of Tayto crisps and a cadet cola will do.

The boards one was a can of carnation condensed milk.

Don't make it easy for me anyway I don't even know where you would get cadet cola or condensed milk anymore.

You'd get condensed milk in every Dunnes or Tesco in Ireland, man...

Ill have a look and see. I'm collecting it in the morning anyway. Some long wait for a car hopefully worth the wait though.

Everytime I look at this, I think, "wtf were you thinking c-man"

GvidoR

Wow. What a coincidence.

So what's the MK3.5 like, Duke? Does it have 1.8 non-turbo?

Yeah choddy old 1.8 from the MK3, super reliable though.

It was actually a nice car to live with, comfortable enough till I went all sc3n3 on it. I'd have another tbh

My parents had a few Golf cabrios in the 80s and 90s too

GvidoR

Oh, I thought you just got it recently.

Ah no, had that a while ago, before my first Wolseley actually. Had to sell it to make room for that, was quite sad when it went. I had 2 at one stage

Mk2 convertibles were my fav. Even better is the Eos with a Scirocco front end.



Damn nice IMO. Not made on the stance but still. :cool:

GvidoR

I think you mean MK1. MK2 didn't come as a convertible. :P

You could get brand new one of these MK1s and a brand new MK3 hatch in 1993.

Yes you're right. I was thinking of the late mk1 cabrios.

Duke O Smiley

There was a [German, I think) company who converted a few Mk2 Golfs back in the day but VW never officially made a Mk2 cabrio.

My parents had a black 91 GTI cabriolet up until about 1997 when they moved to Dublin

Special Circumstances

VW cabrios from 1994 on? No me gusta.
Up there with astra F cabrios. Gawk.

That Eos with the sirocco front end looks more like a slipper than Clarksons friend the Daihatsu Copen ever did.
Although it does look like that may have been the car that front end was initially designed for. All we need to figure out now is where the hell the rear end of the sirocco came from!
