Hello everyone.
I'm a brand new poster here. And this is my first real post, other than updating the Ed30 Register.
Just to tell you that 1521 is now back again on her original 57 Plates.
How do I know? Because I am now the VERY proud owner. I have resurrected this thread with
@MateyGuv permission and blessing, as I know there was a lot of following for the car. I did NOT get it direct from Mateyguv, and according to the V5 I will be the SEVENTH owner - lucky number 7. I think James was maybe number 3 from the paperwork I've got?
What can I tell you so far?
Well, the mileage is approx 78k now. It did NOT come with any of the AWD stuff (but it's been a while, so I imagine that was sold off). The rear cup holder is broken. The immobiliser chip in the spare key doesn't work (something I actually only found out AFTER accidentally breaking the immo chip on the first key).
So right now, the mileage is definitely NOT increasing - as poor Ed is Immovable!!! With huge thanks to
@MateyGuv he has contacted the guys who originally did the coding of the clocks (remember the sexy Mk6 colour MFD with the scirocco R dials?) - and they've recommended a reliable auto locksmith who's coming over to sort me out... and then I'll actually be able to DRIVE it!!
Just for the record; this won't be a resurrection of all the mods and work on the vehicle; I am disabled, and health, work, and natural lack of talent mean I'll be nowhere near qualified enough to follow in Matey's footsteps. My plan is to maintain, and maybe make small increments where I can for the time being.
So if anyone wants to know where #1521 is... HIYA!
... but don't expect content like before, just setting expectations :D
Oh yea, and this is my first ever Golf, and only my second ever VW! Be nice to me
