Re: My mk5

Yep your right. No reverse gear as yet. At the moment her in doors will be responsible for that!!!!! As regards to Tesco, we have a little bet going that we could do a full weeks shop in it. She thinks it won't be big enough but I reckon it will so when it's done we're going to liven up the local Te...

Re: My mk5

Firstly I must apologise for the rather colourful language but it was quite a moment to hear it run at last. I hope it's going to be quite lively.

Re: Orange Mk6

What a nice example. Doesn't look like you need to do much to it. Check out the photos of my mk5 on the forum. This may give you some insentive as it has taken about 20 years to get to this stage! Yours looks much more together so keep at it.

We're all mad according to our friends and family so we need to give encouragement on the forum. As far as your car is concerned, I'm dead jealous because you seem to have the know how and ...

Re: My mk5

Wheels and tyres are borrowed and are only on to move the car around. That is just another one of the many jobs on the list to get sorted. Will probably have to get some made. If it were a race car The choice would be easy but it's predominantly going to be road although it would be a criminal not t...

Re: My mk5

Dave, Thanks for your comments. To date the car has taken about 20 years to get to this stage so I too have had bouts of depression!
