I'm in hiding
« on: March 04, 2012, 06:00:55 pm »
Hi all I know some of you have been wondering why ive not been on so thought it only fair to speak out,

Right well the car has been having some money spent on it and not in the modding dept :scared: first the turbo :fighting: 3 f%$£ing times then the clutch and now the cylinder head :sick: so Ive decided to let it go and recoup some of my money?

The car is in excellent condition with a massive spec and over 200bhp to boot still getting 45-50mpg I will NOT be breaking the car for any parts it will be going has it is.

I will be keeping the car and sticking a for sale sign in it at the VW Festival in August @ Harwood house.

I know im being optimistic has I know my mods will not bring any money but ill be putting it up at £6.5k with realistic offers.

I'm not getting back in a car at the moment, my mode of transport for work will be my new mountain bike a Cannondale Trail SL1. I'm now saving every penny to move house then once I move ill be back in a VW but something new a nice spec'd mk6 GTI the prices will come down a bit once the mk7 comes out :happy2:

So there you go ill be still around but not doing much for the moment, ill be still doing some coding if someone needs anything and can pop round here.

Cheers for the time here and hopefully ill be back in a VW quite soon.

Hi Darren

Sorry to hear you've been having more problems!  I'm sure there are lots of people on here, who you've helped over the years, who will join me in saying that I hope things all work out for you.  Good luck with the house move. 

Looking forward to a Mk6 build thread some time in the future.  :happy2:

All the best mate.

Paul.

Sorry to hear you've been having so much trouble. It can really kill any love you have for the car.

Good luck with the save and future plans. There's no reason why you can't stick around and share your wisdom though. You know you'll always be appreciated here.

Sorry to hear about the problems with the car, as said above when problems pile up love for a car can tarnish. Saying that your car is awesome so i'm sure it wil find a good home once the time comes to let go. Good luck bud.  :drinking:

P.s Thanks for the coding and fitting of the new control module for me a few months ago. :happy2:

Keep your chin up Daz, your a very valuable member of this forum and you are certainly missed when your not around. Here's hoping everything works out as planned sooner rather than later!

Here's that hug from VC!  :grouphug:
