Off abroad... but keeping the Ed30
« on: September 23, 2009, 04:44:10 pm »
I haven't bee here for a while as its been so busy over here at work and the travel from Amsterdam to Ipswich is really doing my head in - I'm driving a Mk4 GTI.  Took the Mk4 to Denmark last Friday for a friend's wedding and the coilpacks went just as I apporached the Germany-Denmark border  - sod's law.  I still managed to make it to Aero Island just off the Denmark mainland and then drive back the car to the UK the next day/night (800+ miles and took 13 hours).   Just could not accelerate - 0-60 in one minute - as the car would judder and shake violently... currently convalescing at the local VW dealer. 

Anyway... I have just landed another job abroad... this time in Saudi Arabia and while there is no way I can even contemplate selling the Ed30, I will be selling bits and pieces including the custom Detroits that Greenouse used to own (he has first dibs though, just in case he wants them back)  The Ed30 will be going into storage along with the Mk1 Campaign.

Hi Steve... no problem.  They are still exactly in the same condition as they were when Greenouse had them - went straight into the garage and have stayed there ever since.  But I'll send some pics later today  :happy2:

Really, really happy to hear you've got some work again, Nadeem!

Hope to hear from you again when you're visiting the UK. Or you could be the forum's Saudi car correspondent!

How long is your contract?

....But don't worry, Nadeem - Phil McA has stepped up to the plate and taken your space at JKM for modding his car. You set him a fine example :evilgrin:

Sorry Steve... I am looking for the Greenouse photos that I had as they are close up... but I think I have lost them.  I do have some other photos, but they aren't that close up as his were - maybe he could help me out here  :ashamed:  I'll send you what I have though.
