KIPVW

Lol! in my dreams but i think that is definately it for now :ignore:

Ha Ha! it better be sold Kempy :lol:

Tell me bout it Andy, Its like some venting cut into the dash, bit of a bummer but it can be replaced i guess :ignore:

It has crossed my mind mate :lol:

Hi Rob, nice to hear from you,will be in the VR i'm afraid but i'm sure yuo'll see it at some point :wave:

It has crossed my mind a few times Gareth :brickwall:

Mostly buff it lots :lol: maybe Sebrings too! not sure bout the BBS, I love em but not practical really. what are they worth anyway? i know they are pretty rare and caps are expensive.

Cheers Yan, i was pretty gutted when it was first advertised and sold within a few hours but then it was re-advertised for more money Doh! the guy said another car came up but i thought maybe he's a trader but i really dont care as it gave me another opportunity. Just hope i dont find anything nasty, a few bits to sort out but its over 20 years old so cant grumble. First refusal on the leather then Sir should i decide to sell it.

Well Destiny is a funny old thing, tried so hard to find a Nugget Yellow 16V a couple of years back and didn't see one worth purchasing so bought this silver 8v which is damn fine but still always lusted after one the Rob(Carpy) puts his up for sale when i was out of work and it was the best i saw but just couldn't justify it at the time. Anyways been to view one today and it was the best ive seen but then it wasn't cheap! pick it up next week hopefully! just hope its all ok but certainly felt good to drive and was as tight as a mouses ear ole :lol: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1800389.htm Oh and no i didn't pay that :pale: :lol:

bout 6 miles :lol:

Well just want to add that the 8v performed superbly on the Scotish road trip without a single problem other than one of the rear splash guards rattling loose due to rust :lol: rattled around a bit on bumpy roads. will treat it to a pair of new ones for being good soon :grin: Economy was a strong point regularly returning 40 plus to the gallon whilst we were giving it some beans keeping up with the other nutters Lol! all in we will do 1250 miles when the tank is empty again for £190 so not bad at all. Also i'll be off to view a nugget 16v on wednesday so am racking my brains at the moment as to how i'll manage a purchase if i like it :brickwall: So the 8v MAY be for sale soon. I'd seriously miss it though i can tell you its a bloody fantastic little car. :notworthy: We'll see.

Lol! quality little story Chris, Well done though and am sure you are well chuffed :grin: see you at BVF. :wink:

Indeed a trading standards case if ever i heard one! hope you get it all sorted to your satisfaction soon. :wink:

Butterfly here.. on Kips log in. Yep we are staying over. I know the hotel and where it is as I used to live in Cheltenham. The wedding is of a friend of mine from when I lived down south. Really looking forward to it but it will be wierd seeing some other old friends that I've not kept in contact with.

Where abouts "down Cheltenham way" Kip as that is our neck of the woods? Ian. Hi Ian, Its at the Cheltenham park Hotel, Cirencester road GL53 8EA. You know it at all?

it's around the £100 area as Jim says too! bought some for mine a while ago and Jude bought some recently to put into stock :lol:

Only got the one wedding John on friday, but staying over as it's down cheltenham way then drive up saturday back to ours then will set off to meet you guys on the sunday :wave:

Ah i only wondered with it being so high up :lol: where was it taken Jim? cant remember it at all.

Gear knobs are about £20 from the dealers :wink: Keep going with the concours Chris, i'm sure it's only a matter of time! it took a while for me to get anywhere too and i still do a couple of shows and it never does anything which is surprising to others but there are some damn fine cars out there. It'll be worth the wait when it comes my man :salute:

does anyone know where the current banner is taken from? i was just wondering if it was my car on the far right as it's sat a bit higher than most :lol: Looks like a few years ago though as it has toyo's on if it is my motor, and is it the same picture on the front of the sprinter mag issue 37?????? Jim? :lol:

Ha ha ha! Silly woman :-)x

Ha Ha! glad you like them but it wasn't all down to me. I must say a huge thanks to Vicki the clubs membership secretary for sending me the sample which was sent to the clubs PO Box by the company who make them. With a little tweaking on the design from the ever efficient Crazy Karen ( or is it felt tip fairy ) :lol: the design looked pretty good so thought it'd be nice to send a little freebie out to you all. PS, RENEWALS ARE NOW DUE! :lol: :lol: New sticker design coming soon too for all those that renew, go on you know it makes sense :wink: :dance:

Excellent David, They make superb dailys too and i really really like mine and cant imagine life without it even with its faults :ignore: :lol:

I placed some padded tape (you could use masking tape) and found it wedges perfectly in between the slats of the standard grille.....tbh i think VW had this in mind when designing the rado :clap: Here is my tarantinotastic attempt :( [youtube:2y59yu9k]AT-FZ4d4yrk[/youtube:2y59yu9k] You could have given us a wave..... Honestly :roll: :lol:

They did about a year ago mate and i cant remember how much they are but less that £5 i'm sure. :ignore:
