    Advice on old GTI

    Upto 28 watchers! Sad day tomorrow to see her go, been a faithful car, done 120k of the miles on the clock. I hope she goes to someone wanting to track her so she can full fill her potential.
  2. Dude, I did mine 2yrs ago after putting it off for years. I did an intensive course, I had only ever ridden a 125 once about 15 yrs ago whilst on holiday. So the course took me through CBT to full license over about 2 weeks. I was nervous but I had a great instructor (a bit of a ball ache at times but really made me aware of all the dangers out there and what to look for). So I was worried about my first bike but my mate wanted to sell me his Bandit 1200 and I was like 'but it's a bit big for my first bike' and he convinced me to buy it by saying that I would only want a bigger bike within a few months. I think he was right at the end of the day the bike only goes as fast as you twist that throttle. I took my time and got used to the bike. I love it, it's awesome. Set me back £1200 T Reg with 13k miles on the clock. I'm going to be using it a lot more this year to save the miles on my other baby. So there's my story.

    I know I considered breaking it up myself but as the most I can do is change the oil and plugs so not a job for Mr Numpty. 21 watchers and counting!

    Thanks again bud, I thought I'd updated the V5 tick box I'll double check. Again this is where a forum like this really does pay off.

    Also highest bidder has loads of good feedback and one negative saying he's a scammer but they have nearly 1800 positive, so they should be cool right?

    Advice on old GTI

    So quick update: Had a PM from another member pointing me to another forum - PM'd thank you! She's now on ebay - 9 watchers so far and £150 reserve met. Some dude texted me this morning and is interested but is going away for 2 weeks. He's a long distance lorry driver so wont be able to pay/collect until a week after auction has ended. Whilst he sounds genuine I think I've got to let it run its course now. He also asked if I had a buy it now figure in mind, what do ya's think?

    Advice on old GTI

    Good tips fellas! Has a fair bit of rust on the drivers door and bubbling elsewhere but generally sound, it's in the free ads and had a couple of interested parties but no luck so far. Might try ebay next. Is PH free to advertise?
  23. Guys, I've got a Almera GTI that I've owned for over 10 yrs and she's due to retire now unfortunately Do you think the best option is scrap or put it on pistonheads as a 'possible' track car? Or is this totally unrealistic? If scrap does anyone know the going rate? I'm going to take off what I can and put on our standard Almera, seats being the first thing, anyone suggest anything else I can take off and swap fairly easily. Any constructive advice welcome!
  24. Ah! That's what that is in my centre console!Lol
  25. Who said germans aren't fun!
