That was it, nine!!!!

Mk1 Golfs, not surprising really when walking the dog I see six houses with various collections of VW's but they all have Mk1's that are used regularly.

I use my drive, spent a fortune previously storing cars, spending more storing them than buying them. If my Polo rusts away in two years, I have saved £1400 to buy another by not renting a garage.
I just need to get that logic understood by my better half.

Getting seriously bored sanding these wheels and the cleaning up to find I'm still not happy with the end results. This was the worst wheel, suffered the most as being stop of the stack and stored in a lean to open to the elements. I might just call it at a day this point swap some tyres over and stick em on. I had a snout round club polo into swapping my aau for an Abd 1.4 but not sure if I can retain my spi. Most of the info related to using the GT multipoint but not what I want to do. If anyone had idea if that's possible would be very helpful.

My old Streetka, after popping yet another engine. Just checked the MOT history and it still lives!! Sold it for spares or repairs. I covered over 70,000 miles in it, used 10 tyres. 3 heater control valves 4 thermostat housings. One exhaust and passenger door handle twice. Replaced disks & pads twice, clutch once. Rear wheel bearings twice. Sold it for spares and repairs on 102,000, after I lunched the second engine. Original one went at 72,426, then replacement second hand one did 42,000 in original car and a further 40,000 in my car. In hindsight each time the thermostat housing went I should of replaced the heater control valve at the same time. When the original plastic thermostat housing broke the car overheated causing the plastic heater control valve to become brittle, this then failed later on causing the engine to overheat making the thermostat housing to go brittle. A never ending circle!!!

Another 12 months ticket! Bit annoyed with the one advisory upper bearings on front strut have slight play. Only replaced them in last few months ago and less than 400 miles.
