I don't know paddy, i loved that car.
I can't warm to modern golfs.

So did I, but there comes a point where you need to **** or get off the pot. I've always wanted a GTI and no better time than now. They do everything very, very well. Not many MKVI GTIs on the road here either, so feels nice.

Nice one Paddy

Any plans for her?

Yes, but nothing OTT. It'll be a car for driving rather than parking up and looking pretty. I won't be going the air suspension / stance route.

Love the alloys on the golf

166man · 23-06-2015 11:24PM

It's a lovely looking car Paddy, best of luck with it.

Looks like a nice place to be

I have like a million pics of my cars. Park, walk away looking back at the car, take a few steps back, pull out the phone, take some pics... walk away, still looking back at the car. :P

I had it gone before camera phones came out. Didn't own a camera back then either. Sure the country is full of met silver 1.4 golfs. Not something I need to be reminded of.

Wow, sounds like you stick with your cars for a very long time. I've had 10 different cars since 2012. :P

Was that 1.4 Golf a mk3?

beertons · 24-06-2015 09:06PM

Same as my current one almost, just went from petrol to diesel. 3dr to 5dr. Had it 4 years.

Should've went the other way, although the 1.4 is not the greatest engine.

Much prefer this car. My friends love it, my dad too. Says it's more exciting than his A6.

Don't get me wrong, I like mk4's, I had two myself, but I'd take a 1.8T over 1.9D if given the choice.

MuppetCheck · 24-06-2015 09:47PM

Well wear Paddy. Look forward to seeing what you do with it given the fantastic job you made of the E90. Every time I saw that car on the road my neck hurt afterwards:)

You should take this one for a spin, it's lots of fun.

If only the other one was an estate too. :P

166man · 25-06-2015 05:07PM

166 working well at the moment.... Standard carpet change here...!

It's amazing when you take them apart you realise how well and over engineered they are as cars. Really impressive the quality throughout.

bazz26 · 25-06-2015 05:07PM

The nerd in you now can try and spot the small differences between the UK built liftback and the Japanese built estate.

dgt · 25-06-2015 07:09PM

A familiar spot

brembo26 · 25-06-2015 07:10PM

roof Ariel?

Sobanek · 25-06-2015 07:45PM

7 hours of work later... She looks like a gem.

Full valet - ph neutral shampoo, washed twice using two bucket method, zymol wet wax, applied twice, interior vacuumed, carpets washed, windows cleaned with AutoGlym Fast Glass, alloys treated with autoglym clean wheels, tyres dressed with AutoGlym Tyre Polish.

All in all, pleased with the results.

Big Nasty · 25-06-2015 07:47PM

Looks great man. Were you around the Crumlin area today?

Looks like a nice spot, car looks well too. Where is she now? out to pasture or boo'd and screwed in a field somewhere :P.

Well me 406 is sitting at the gate in the usual parking spot

surprisingly standard but I just haven't had the time to do fun stuff!

As for the Merc, I sold it in Feb and it changed hands many times since. It's a toss up between it and the red 406 which was the most fun daily driver, each never failed to put a smile on my face for different reasons, each with many memorable stories behind them

Here's to hoping I have the C220 at least running with the 3.0 later this year

You were a bit too close with the 406.

I got it pretty damn close with Colt and Bora. :P

dgt · 25-06-2015 08:55PM

Next time I've a picture where I'm overlooking the lough you may get that software out and see how close all the pics I took were
