New Additions to the Family
« on: January 08, 2009, 03:25:49 am »
The R32 for the wife  :rolleyes: collected on the 20th December...









The neighbours probably think I'm nuts  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:




And maybe they are right  :grin: :grin: :grin: - whats that hiding in the garage?




A surprise addition to the family - the money was meant to be saved until I got a contract extension confirmation in Feb and then promptly spent on Ed30 mods...  :grin: :grin: :wink:  Could resist this near concours Mk2 GTI 16V with 73k miles when it came up on Autotrader for £4250.  I drove my wife's sold Lupo GTI to work in Hook (south of Reading) from Ipswich, then drove the Lupo GTI to Lincoln to drop it off to its new owners, took a train to Durham (didn't realise how far north it was when I went past York  :rolleyes:) and drove the Mk2 back to Ipswich.  :evil: :evil:

Mk2 Golf GTI 16v





Its got steelies on for the winter, but it came with a set of new BBS RAs with tyres  :wink:

Thanks for the comments guys...  Thats the Mk1 in the garage hiding behind the R32  :grin: :grin: :grin:  Prices for a mint Mk2 16v have gone up but they're worth every penny.  I've had a few Mk2's - thread and pics of all previous dubs coming soon  :evilgrin: - and they were a bit cheaper a couple of years ago, but low mileage mint ones are getting scarce.  In fact I've been looking for a year now and only seen two low mileage Mk2 16vs with 3-doors and big bumpers.  I sold a minter 3 years ago to get my first new car ever - Mk5 GTI.  It had 56k on the clock, Tornado Red, big bumpers and drove like new - for £4850.  At the time it was a good price, but it would have been worth even more now.
