New ride - WARNING non Golf content!
gixerben:
I really liked my S2k but being 6 ft 2" I never felt it fitted me. I looked into dropping the seat which is a popular mod with them but couldn't justify the cost.
It went well and loved playing around with the rear wheel drive thing, but my god the thing would bite if you pushed ya luck..
I think my Pirelli for everyday driving is quicker and a so much easier to drive hard, unless you are a drift King with big balls.

Look what you've done here....
I went and found this beauty!!!
Now I love my GTI and won't change it but I've linked this to my gf and want her to buy it tomorrow....
Thoughts?

gixerben:
Looks good, Nice spec, take it for a drive see what you think..
I opted for the diesel as I know how much my Golf likes to drink and didn't want the cost of running two.
If you do view, check over for leaks in the boot were the spare sits, and smell for damp..
lukemk5gti:
Anything else I need to look out for?
When my neighbour got hers the parking sensors were bust and the wing mirrors had corroded similar to our white worm issue
gixerben:
Yeah, the bases of the mirrors are cast alloy unlike the plastic golf ones, so worth a look, but I think in time they all do it.
Check standard stuff like service history, number of owners etc.
But the roof is the most important bit, have the seals been treated with VW's krylon grease, it's £40 for a small tub of the stuff but is a must in reducing leaks and squeaks..
Drive it with roof up and down and listen for knocks, creaks and squeaks as this is a very, very expensive thing if it goes wrong..
