Putting up some pics of my GTi6, Josephine.

Bought it as my first car (!!!) about 2mths ago. Previous owner had the timing belt break early and bent half the valves. He couldn't be stuffed getting it fixed and offloaded it a French specialist mechanic who planned to get it back in working order and keep it for himself, that is until I was put onto him and made an offer.
The mechanic was pretty full-on about getting it in tip-top condition so a lot of stuff was outright replaced (brake rotors & pads, shocks, timing belt, pumps, etc) and the head was machined when the valves were getting done...wish I had the pics he showed me of that! I've done about 3,000km in it now and the oil is still clean enough to put back in the bottle and resell.
Hoping to get many, many more miles of grin-inducing motoring in the years to come.
