MK1 Golf


Why not buy a Fiat Punto? It's far more reliable than good old German engineering. End sarcasm.

New Car

I know this isn't exactly entirely art related, but I got a new car and I really need to just shove it up on here for keepsake really, oh and yeah sure, to show off the new ride!

Car shiiit

After a little bit of research, I've concluded I'm going to have to wait a while for a 309, the thing about it, is that it's an old car with a big engine, and renowned for being a boy racers car (although a really upmarket one at that). Quotes were sky high. So in a weird twist of irony, I'm going to have to settle and buy a Mk4 Golf GT TDI and go for the 130ps version..a shit hot quick car, I'm planning on doing it properly and going down to AMD Essex and getting it re-mapped for about £400. They do a good job and they're really decent guys I gather. Insurance is manageable, only a hundred quid more than what I'm paying now. 0-60 in about 8 seconds, a pretty hot hatch. Of course I could go all balls and get the 150 horsepower version, but the thing is, I think it uses the same diesel engine as the 130, and remapping the 150 would push the engine to its limits and fuck it up. So i'm playing it safe, yet still getting a shit hot car for a really good price!

Grrrrr

I've suddenly decided on what car I really would like to own next, a damn Peugeot 309 GTi. A shit hot car of it's day and still one of the best ever handling front wheel drive cars EVER. They look sick, they handle like the old 205, and best of all its a Pug, cheap as fuck parts and servicing, but these cars are pretty old now, in production 88-93 i think, somrehing like that anyway. Still, even if I buy a new one it's nearly as old as me. DAYMN
