Toms306s "Bit Of A 'State"

[Toms306]

cable ties ftw to fix the fuel lines!

Yeah that's the ideal but its finding some sort of mounting point first!

Right you want something nippy, good mpg and goes bawp.
You perfect car can be yours for grand total of... £300


Isn't she a beauty.
Her names turd!
Only got 130k on clock! And makes noises like a dying dog!
Everyone told me I couldn't polish a turd so yesterday I spent 8 hours proving them wrong and now I have a polished turd!

Lol, you could've had a diesel 106 for that price, would've been much cheaper to fuel. . And yes I polished a turd too, waste of time isn't it lol.

Lol less than a day doing routine maintenance on my hdi that hasn't moved in 3 months and it is running sweet as, even on 237K..

Yeah yeah, rub it in! In my defence, this car hasnt been looked after at all, and had been sitting a lot onger than 3 months lol.

I went to South Africa 18 months ago, it sat for 3 months, 6 months, 6 months and 3 more months. I also don't come on here to moan about every tiny little thing wrong with it, I just MTFU and fix it. She's running beautiful as it happens.

It might not be like a golf for X and Z, but at least the engine works which is more than can be said for your Golf. Your Golf mpg may have been better but it can't do much with a f*cked engine! Think you need to stop looking a gift horse in the mouth tbh as if it was my car i'd have taken it back long ago.

Your situations slightly different to mine though, you're clearly of an age where you have enough money and knowledge to fix anything and everything on yours. And leaving it for months at a time shouldt be a problem....as I said its clearly been looked after to acheive a milage like that.....the estate will not hit that milage, I am so sure of that I'll eat the car if it does.

My silver golf is still running fine, just not with me. Yes the blue one failed, but its only the 2nd 130 to have failed cams on the dubgen forum that covers the whole of EA.....I was just unlucky with it. I'm more comparing the hdi to golfs in general, not just the blue one.

As for looking a gift horse in the mouth, everyone knows by now I tell stuff as it is....do you want me say its really quick and good on fuel? Cos it isn't either of those things. If someone leant you a blunt saw, would you carry on with it taking a week to cut a hole or would you tell them honestly that it was shit, and then sharpen/replace the blade for them?

Not sure if you think I'm basically stealing the car, but way I see it, Sam will come back to a fully working car with a recent service, MOT and tax.....which would have otherwise still been rotting on axle stands on his nans drive until Xmas. We're helping eachother out.
