Not really sure whether this post should be in the Introduction forum or here ... so I will post it here and it can be moved if necessary

Anyway my names Rich, Im 24 and have been driving dubs since I passed my test when I was 17, already seems so long ago!

The background to buying this B5.5 is basically I got a new job last year and driving a 240bhp 1.8T Bora 50 miles a day, 6 days a week killed my bank balance so she had to go




So my first car was a real stunner, very well looked after 1.0 light blue Polo breadvan from my nan! Although I didnt appreciate it at the time it would have been an awesome little car if I knew what I know now about modding! It got me through my driving test and then unfortunately two weeks later I pulled out of a junction and a 106 hit into the side of it!





I decided that after driving that for 6 months I decided I "needed" a black mk2 GTI project, managed to find a one in a scrap yard with the headgasket gone for £250 ... erm it needed some work


Being a college student, progress was slow but after a year working on it I got it looking alright, again still young so exuses the bling!




So with this on the road I think I had it for another year, but I just wanted something newer and my dads friend was selling his 8v mk3 GTI. Sold the mk2 and along came the mk3! Most reliable car I have ever owned, never broke down in all the time I had it! Again, bought totally standard, I then did this to it!
