Well… to make it short…

The golf ended up in a scrappy… bad floor condition… on top of everything else is what made me make that decision.

Bad times:(

For the past two days a lot of things changed about the golf…

First – i moved it to the garage… sadly it wasnt able to drive on its own and we had to tow it – no lights, no wipers (was raining OFC) and damn weak brakes…. i mean really bad considering half the way is down the steep hill, but… we moved it, then i removed the seats and most of the carpets, sound proofing and water.

Now it is safe in the garage getting dry… will take some pictures soon

Oh NOOOOOO!! The golf is flooded !! Panic!

Found about 3 inches of water in my golf :( all the carpets and soundproofing are soaked… I was almost crying crawling on my knees around the golf in the middle of the street pumping all the water out – had to remove some soundproofing, centre console some carpets. Luckily the floor is still there – no nasty holes and doesn’t look rotten or anything… i am going to strip the G to bare shell now :(

What was the reason ? Crap… lots of crap blocking one of the drainage holes and causing the water to go IN rather than OUT…

Anyway… felt the need of sharing – now the golf will also get some new interior parts by the looks of things.

The Ultimate Question I’ve been asked like a milion times… ‘Dude its not even a GTi’… ‘25?? Does IT drive?’…

Well here it goes HATERS…

You think YOU are smart because you drive a 4 years old Corsa or Astra. New = Awesome right?

You think YOU are right because 75% of the people in the UK also drive Corsas and Astras. Following the crowd = Cool true?.

Now tell me how many Golfs do you see every day ? 10? 15? 1? None? Exactly… You remember every single one of them – even the rusty piece of crap decaying by the wall. Why ? Because its unique…

Look at it… Funny at first… old fashioned… but the you realise – they will never make them like they used to – the shape, the interior… the shiny hubcaps… the retractable aerial… just as they were 20 years ago… happy times…

Well if you didn’t get it so far there is no point in me trying any longer… for you its just a car… for me its time travel… lifestyle… friendships and some of the best moments of my life – so please… if you are one of these people… keep your comments to yourself and go valet your 1.2 Corsa

If any of you out there has any advice please comment – any help will be useful.
