VAG-hag

aye aye sailor, do i take it you had to come up for air, and the first thing you did was log onto here :lol: im sure it wasnt the FIRST thing! :norty:

More Kudos for Karl AKA KADVR6 & your bro - Cheers for the wheels, Lights & Loom 8) Oh & of course the Jack :thumbleft: Graham AKA Nemesis360 - cheers for the wipers & installing them too!! 8) Tom AKA Toad - cheers for the oil cooler 8) Good peeps to deal with - top draw!!

Thanks Vaughn, On 3 sets now. I even got called a wheel wh0re by Judith the other day!! :D The idea is to keep a set of Solitudes IF I ever sell, the RXIIs with polished lip for dry miles & the super Ts for winter...... Please dont tell Wendy it was because of me that you invested in your "for the good of the engine dear" cams!!! She may not be so nice next time :lol: The first thing I noticed was how smooth it felt. It also seemed more eager to go....... had a HUGE smile on my face when I first came out of Stealth put it that way. Also it still sounds the same, is smooth on idle & delivers goodish MPG (same as before) when pootling on motorways :) Cheers Simon. No match for the beast from Rothers though!! PS spoke to Rob today & he is hoping to make the VW festival @ Harewood. Said id ask if you were along?? Again thanks for the comments guys, its nice to hear from fellow owners aswell as Joe public of course!! :D

Cheers for the comments gents!! Tom you want to spray your speedo's?? :lol: & cheers for the offer of getting my old stuff off the lappy, im affraid its gone to the big IT department in the sky now :( Oh yeah did I not mention it was a work lappy I :censored: up?? whoops :oops: Next job is yonder oil cooler.....

PICS, PICS, PICS, PICS, PICS, PICS, PICS, PICS!!!! :D

Sorry to hear about this John. I may have a spare pass handle if that could help?? I sold one on Sunday but ill have a dig if you like? You can change the locks, pretty sure of that. & ive had his mum, she was rubbish. & I wiped my :censored: on her curtains too!! Hope this makes you feel a bit better......

Hello all :wave: Thought it was about time I made a lil thread for my C. Im afraid I dont have many pics as I managed to spoil my last lap-top a little. Ill not go into detail but my mates thought it was very funny at the time calling it a yak top - not good!! :pukeright: Anyway back to the point. I bought this car as a totally original Storm with 58k on the clock. At the time when I 1st saw it I had just finished restoring my 1st C (owned by my old man since '96) but quite fancied a change..... The car (N301KOU) was not for sale & was just parked up on the roadside in Surbiton. I had a good oggle, took a quick pic & left it at that. Later when chatting with pappa M (Philmo) he said I should have left a begging letter incase the guy (or girl) ever sold it. For months I kept my eye open but only ever saw a golf VR in the same spot. But then - its there!!! Stop the train!!! etc etc I left a lil note 'like the car', 'my cats died please can I have it' & so on. 3 weeks later I get a call saying come & pick it up mate. Turns out the guy "had too many cars" anyway. Not bad eh?? He pretty much used the C just for tramming up the motorway & thought it would be nice to go to a fan (with a dead cat - sorry Ill leave that joke alone now) I went for a lil spin, agreed a price & soon picked it up :thumbleft: Sold N808CWB a few months later - sad day, even though I had another one waiting!! Still love to get in this car just as much as ever :D Here is a quick list of mods - Clifford Concept 650 Alarm :nono: G60 NO number plate - Merry Christmas!! :dance: H&R RSS Clubsport Coillies Eibach F&R ARBs S/S Strut Brace bought through the group buy Schimmel 263 cams (b day gift off Pappa M) Stealth Re-map All red rears - used the sticky overlay thingys from empire GFX but not im impressed with my fitting so im tinting some soon! 17"x 7.5" BBS RXIIs - Summer wheels with 205,40,17s (when I finally get them on!!) 17"x8" OZ Super Ts - Winter wheels with 215,40,17s (im really quite liking these so they may become full time wheels) these are also good to have when I finally upgrade the brakes! She now has 68,888 miles. Next plan is to up rate the brakes :afro: :lol:

shame you missed it Karl, that is 1 nice looking rallye!! Does the Mrs know about your last ebay purchace yet? :lol:

& you may end up covered in it!! :lol:

one for the ladies I think.....

yeah the cover has tabs on it. if you loosen the black bits around the edge all will become clear.........

I got all that stuff from Phillip @ PW. Give him a bell, super nice chap to deal with 8) He does a 'fitting kit' which includes 16 BBS bolts & 4 BBS security bolts which look smart. I sprayed mine cos ive got black rims but they come silver.... Hope to have them ready for Sat (Prescot) so you can nosey at mine if you like??

shame. looks like it was a nice c that......

Can just watch it online for free with BBC iPlayer :) http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/page/item/ ... ?src=ip_mp cheers Jim

due to being in a proper tangle on a lads weekend i was in bed by 6 last night & missed it all!! whooops!! is it repeated at all in the week??

whats the story behind them??

Im pretty sure that when i got my Eibach ARB kit for the C it said "suitable for MkII" on the box

in pic 3 the black one looks like a Corsa!! :shock: not good at all......... White on looks stunning, they should all be that way. If you want a plain car than buy summat else!

Bentley speed 6 :shock: :shock: Great site Jim! 8)

Belated Happy Bday message mate :D Fancy being "ill" on your birthday!!! :lol: :lol:

well dont worry about the red leads mate, ive heard that red are standard. this came from KIPVW on here (he is well into concourse so is all about OEM) Id do a lil search on here to see if anyone has ideas with regard to the hesitations you are getting. If its an ignition problem then it should be easy to investigate. Check plugs, leads etc. 8)

Reminds me of the Russian Bugatti delivery wagon shown on Top Gear. Love it!! :D

What gives you that idea? Are they a differant colour? Welcome to the forum & to 'rado ownership. You have the best model & colour too :grin: :grin:

hope its not the dreaded man flu, could warrent a few days that :lol:

no problem at all mate :) Karl i think you should invest in a ticket machine (supermarket stylee) as there will be a queue on soon!!! :lol: :lol: by that i mean can i hve a ride out too please?? :notworthy:
