    Done. I never turned it into anything. Simply posted up my findings for the benefit of anyone else with a long drive and they could weigh things up. That's part of what forums are about - helping other forum members. As far as I'm concerned this is parked and like I have said before - I hope...

    Steve, Steve, Steve. Really? I've offered an olive branch to try and help you peddle your stuff. By your own admission your stuff isn't selling. You told me you as much and having been through the 'Steve Machine' I think I know why and I've offered to help you. I'm struggling to understand why...

    I think the interior looks amazing! I really. Like high contrast interiors so that's sort of my thing though.

    Hi Steve I've tried to be as fair as I think I can, and haven't 'dived into the car' but still you feel the need to suggest I had something of an attitude? Quite the opposite especially given you kept me waiting outside the industrial estate for 20 minutes whilst you ran 'errands'. It's OK, I'd...

    I think the other element which people don't appreciate but would greatly improve their appeal/market size is the practicality of the car's. It's one of the main reasons I'm in a GS and use it as a daily. I'd had a 3200 years ago so knew that the back seats could be used by actual human beings...

    All I can say is I recognised the sound and on my car it was the car's and not the double skins (I suspected those on my car and was wrong). It ISNT though an unloved project car. That is far too harsh. It's clearly been looked after and just needs a few bits. It's easy to get dragged into...

    But then you never know that the 'better one' with less miles won't let you down with big bills. Probably safest to assume they will all cost you a certain amount and at least if you start from a lower entry point you've got some room. TBH I already have a GS so the idea here for me would be...

    Rockits - will send you a PM thanks As for the other bits it doesn't need a respray. If you were picky the nose cone anerds doing but it's not terrible by any stretch. The bootlid needs doing but I suspect they can deal with it from the inside edge and not spray the surface you see from behind...

    It's a bit of a long story and I'm conscious I don't want to deflect anyone else's interest in the car but the seller is an 'interesting' chap. I must have bought 200 cars over the years (we all have the diseSe it's just about how badly it bites us ;). ) but this guy and his set up takes the...

    Still, that's sensible miles because these are strong cars. I think part of the issue is that people see big bills on low mileage cars and think that they will be multiplied when the miles go up. Reality is that many repairs are age related or through lack of use NOT through mileage. This...

    I'm hoping to go and see it on Wednesday this week. Min100% agree with hashluck's comments above - low mileage doesn't mean a lack of problems, oftenthe reverse.

    A few questions please

    My car looks like it might need new front discs again as they feel warped (although I have a sneaking suspicion it might be calliper related). I've found the group buy thread but that seems to have gone quiet. Is that thread the only way of getting hold of cost effective discs? Also I am...

    Am I getting the right MPG?

    Thanks guys. Hours and hours of track tuition/practice teaching the virtues of smoothness perhaps paying some dividends. I used to get 35mpg + from my BMW 135i (tuned cough!) on a run so suppose I'm a little surprised and regularly get nearly 70 from the Golf when I use that. Knew the GS...

    Am I getting the right MPG?

    I use my GS as a daily driver although most days we commute in a diesel company car but youvgetbrhenpoint. I've ever worried about mpg on the basis I enjoy my car and I'm prepared to pay for it. BUT - I had a 700 mile round trip the other week and decided to test what mpg I was getting to see...
