Ha ha. So the old girl is famous. Although, the reg number had been photoshopped!!
I purchased this car off of Johnny back in October. I paid nowhere near the price quoted in the article though.
All running good a few new bits were needed. Exhaust, metal water pipes and various other pipes.
Other than that it still flies and has me grinning from ear to ear.

Never got a chance to own a GTI but I did have an '86 1.8 diesel back in '99. Not what you'd call the fastest car around but by the gods did it handle. Loved chucking it round corners knowing full well that it would hold (cracking car in the snow as well).
I've got one of them! It's awesome! OK, maybe that's over generous. But when I drove it home, I could definitely see why people rave about the GTis. "So they're like my car, but even betterer!"Plus the fact that I'm yet to get below 55mpg (that's average, brim-to-brim) helps the pocket somewhat.
In fact, sod it: It's awesome!!!

I'd say mileage is not really important on a 20+ year old car, really needs to be on condition, check for rust at the bottom of the door pillars, service history, play in the rear beam. front chassis leg damage, really just looking for accident damage as most have been put in hedges at some point.

So what points would someone look out for when trying to find a good example; one that could confidently be used as an only car to do around 10,000 miles a year - mostly cross country drives of around 120 miles and a little town work?
Buy a good one, replace all the hoses. I did 18k miles a year in mine, got bored of blowing hoses every few months. Samcos were the best upgrade I ever did. s m said:
Enjoyed that little clip. All i've done is sit in traffic with mine lately, think i'll take the long way home after work.[quote=whosgotazure111s]All brings back great memories.
'so bought myself a nearly new silver 1.6 GTi (E556 UGK) and then two nearly new 1.9 GTis - a white one (F632 BOJ) and then a red one (G283 OGW)'
Just found this website via search engine where we entered our old car reg. no. (F632 BOJ) and it linked us to your post. We owned BOJ until about 2002! Happy Memories!
