Very good, I bought a car!
It's currently in the local garage having the list of broken stuff I made whilst I was driving to and from Basingstoke fixed.

I trust it's a Nissan Figaro?

1990 Golf GTI 16v

Is that the Mark 2?
First car I had was a 1992 Golf Mark 2 1.3. I loved it.

You don't need search for that buddy, The Lord shall guide you.

That's the one!
Been pining away for seven years since I owned my last one.

aren't you supposed to check it for broken stuff before you buy it?
I find that's more efficient in the long run.

It's a 23 year old car.
It's always going to have mechanical stuff wrong when you buy it. The important thing is that it's not rusting away underneath you.
( Kroney, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 9:38, Reply)

absolutely.
Although IME it's perfectly possible to find ones that are neither mechanically nor structurally broken. Although I suppose it depends on the model and what sort of retard owned it before.

Fully sorted cars are about 3 to 4 grand.
I got this one for about 1500. It's going to need to cost me a fair whack before I'm down on the deal. I'm pretty happy!

well, you know
you've just bought a golf, so you're obviously easily pleased ;)

Does that mean you'll shut up about it now
or merely that 'I might buy a car' will be replaced by 'I am now looking for a 1979 Austin Allegro wing mirror'?

Just so I'm prepared, you understand.

No, it's got a great bodyshell and all its interior and exterior bits are in great condition.
It's just mechanical stuff, which I don't generally mention as people tend to laugh at me.
( Kroney, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 9:35, Reply)

Yes you'd never go into tedious detail about car parts on here for fear of ridicule.
It's something I've noticed about you.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 9:47, Reply)

Well, if somebody starts talking to me about it
I'm going to respond without worrying too much about how you're feeling about it, old chum.
( Kroney, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 10:01, Reply)

If he lives anywhere near Al, we will no doubt hear a lot about his wing mirrors

No Allegro chat.

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 9:35, Reply)

That's what I'm hoping for with all my heart.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 9:44, Reply)

Heading for GOLF CHAT instead old chap.
