whats the point  :confused: its not fast so dont drive it fast, if you make it look good and cruise around slower so people can see it then you will get more respect and will be alot safer, theres no point screwing a 75hp car?  :smiley:

haha i know. yeah i had it from new.. i admit that i had it when i passed my test and done a few silly things. but i dont rag it as much as i used to. im usually really stressed so i take it out on my car. im going on a traders policy soon so im going to buy a fast car instead, and keep the golf as a daily.
anyone know any good trade policys that`ll take a 20 year old?

haha i know i know..
but im on the 3rd clutch because when the first gearbox blew it leaked all over it.. then i bought another gearbox (6 speed one :D) had that put in with the 2nd clutch but the seal on the gearbox was crap so it leaked over that too and thats why im on the 3rd clutch

I am pretty shocked you are going through clutches as well it sounds like your not bothering to use them.
Could be worse i guess could be DSG.  :fighting2:
