Title: Howdy
Post by: cuprajack on January 04, 2011, 01:44:23 pm

Hey everybody

Have been stalking on the website for a couple of month now and thought I should probably say hey.  Also seen something for sale that i want so trying to get my post count up  :wink:

From the north east of scotland so if you see me drving round in a black 3dr gt tdi on 18" RS8 alloys give me a wave.  I am afraid to say i'm the owner of a gt tdi not a gti but i'm getting 600 miles to a tank so I can't really complain!  :P

Have also got a 5dr WRX scoob (for sale if anyone wants an amazing snow car) and a mk1 MR2.

Jack

mk2 cupra sport 16v.  Brilliant car.  150 bhp and no weight.  Only bad thing was that it was bright yellow.  Looked great but you couldn't get away with anything, got spotted everywhere! My 1st VAG and i'm not sure why i drifted away!  Back for good now...maybe....

Got 1 or 2 but nothing worth posting yet.  Just got my wheels back from get coated.  The look really good, well chuffed! And very excited about getting them on!  I'll take some pics and get them posted.  I'm from aberdeenshire and it's just started snowing again so 8" wheels are going to be great fun!  Looking for springs/coilvers just now.  I don't want to go super low.  Just enough so that I don't look like a monster with the 18" on.  Any advice anyone?

I'm going to take the caps into work tomorrow and see if there is anything I can do with them?  Would much rather have a VW but not sure if it's possible.  They're not in great nick so would just replace them if I could.

Yeah it's a 1600 twin cam.  Currently off the road as I put it in a ditch last year   :ashamed: Need to find a new wing then i'm sorted.  Such a fun little car!
