There Must be More Than Just 306's and Golf's?????

Form > Function. My arms look fine they just dont do much.

Sounds exactly like my.....errm......nothing.

Tom. mate, lighten up on yourself!

Back on "the other forum" when you had the china 1.4 you seemed happier, you posted more about what you were doing to the car and, even though you complained, it was nothing compared to how you whine about your fecking VAG's

Sell the golf and the NAD, get a china phase 3 1.4, put your angel eyes on it, 40mm and clones and that's your car sorted.

Then find yourself a couple of mates, get out on the pull, go have fun!

And show up to the big meets, you won't feel left out or like you have to go, and you'll have a good time.

And about money, I bet you break even from selling the Golf then buying and insuring a 306, the rest is cheap or free!

Funny you should say that, as if I'd never bought that 1.4, I wouldn't be in the situation I am now. It was one time of something happening (due to owning that car, sort of) that's f*cked me up for distance ever since, was August 3rd 2010 when it happened, nearly 2 years now.

That aside, I did like that car when I bought it - unfortunately I spent more repairing it than I have any golf though. And I also never really did anything to it, was mostly done by the previous owner, then with the 1.8, I just swapped all the stuff over so I didn't really do anything new to that either.

The golf was totally different though, things like my SMIC pipework hadn't been done before (in the way that I did it) by anyone on the forums that I looked through, and with the engine mods I did have it reliably running 180bhp (no boost leaks or anything) before the turbo popped, which was my fault anyway, not the map's. I just never really put it on here because afterall this is a 306 forum, who wants to hear about golfs!?

I know this sounds daft......but a 1.4 would cost more to fuel and tax than the Golf!! A HDi Meridian with the same looks as my 1.4 is tempting though, I kept all the stuff from my 306s as I knew I'd get another, was just hoping it'd be a '6 though.

I dunno what you think the golfs worth but I don't think it'd cover buying and insuring a 306! Although dealers seem to have put diesel golfs up lately, all around 4k with the same milage and spec....for a car thats atleast 10 years and does show it's age, even if the interior build quality is good (they really don't fall apart like for example 106s lol) but it still looks old inside imo. Mines probably worth half that though....if I'm lucky......plus the mods I can sell separately.

f*cking hell, not this again. Just walk

Thanks for the input there Stephen!!

Move out of your parents' house.

Even you probably don't realise how relevant that is!!

The anxiety and depression is halfed when I'm home alone for a week, this eases the erm 'bowel movements' too, and although the OCD doesn't get better, it's much easier to cope with when other people aren't here as well. I'm aware a week home alone isn't the same as moving out, but its pretty similar.

Now this is where the rock and the hard place come in too.........living here, with a house full of family makes everything more difficult as I said above, this makes doing a job much more difficult too (plus living so far away from town, for simiar reasons) - I know I'd be so much better in myself if I moved into a flat in town on my own, life would be easier and doing a job would be much easier too. But of course I can't move out without money from a job..........and a decent job that pays enough to move out is never gonna happen for me while I'm still living here - I just go round in circles and I'm really stuck between a rock and a hard place here. Thats one of the main reasons I've got nothing to look forward to I suppose, becasue I just cannot see anything happening any time soon.

Why join the forum? Well I can speak to you guys about stuff that I wouldn't tell people I know as I'll never meet you.....ok so in reality I have now met quite a few of you that know I'm a pathetic, anxious, depressed, ocd freak, which I can imagine is a great first impression.

I suffer with depression, I did suffer with anxiety, I have low self-esteem, I do have OCD with regards to cleaning things (not the hand-washy thing) I've also been single for 9 years, can barely afford to run a car full stop let alone something with less MPG than the current car...

But you know what life's too short to judge a book by its cover, get out the damn house take a few risks, f*ck I took a risk 4 years ago only ever ridden a ped and jumped on a 750 Yamaha and ended up severing my elbow (still not repaired, breaking my clavicle in 2 places, breaking 4 ribs and suffering head, neck and spinal injuries...Life is a learning curve so for f*ck sake tighten your seatbelt stick your foot down and throw yourself into that curve and see what the outcome is!

And as it goes I'm shy around people the first couple of times but I can't f*cking wait to meet you all!

So......you took a risk and ended up severly injured....why would I want to do that?? But seriously...I do completely see what you mean...I'm just not good at taking risks.
