[CraigW]

you are definately a mk2 owner.

Yep definetely a mk2 owner.

 

[vngtx]

on average, the mk2 owner spends 2500 on modifying it and 2000 repairing it.

tbh im chucking money at her, but its so worth it im not gonna sell her either just rack up the miles and enjoy the smiles

 

[vngtx]

ive done 2000 miles in 4 months and i work 300ft from my house. all that mileage is either picking up spares or just driving for the fun of it always cheers me up if im feeling down.

 

[mattmk2]

ive done 25000 in 9 months haha

 

[vngtx]

i only drive 1 mile a day though...

 

[mattmk2]

fair enuff i have 50 miles a week on work miles 100 to my gf's and back then cruze the rest. id love to drive now but im not risking it

 

[vngtx]

i drove my 1.4 to work with the track rod end not being attatched to the hub before, simply cos i didnt want to leave it at home

 

[mattmk2]

ahahhahah thats love

 

[vngtx]

plus theres a police station at the end of my street and i have to cross a railway crossing to work so i really was risking it..

 

[mattmk2]

i think the best thing ive done with mine is when we had the big freeze i was lacking anti freeze she froze right up i towed her home and put a hot water bottle and a blanket under the hood to defrost the rad, i wanted to bring her inside and make a cup of hot chocolate too

 

[vngtx]

ok thats a little creepy i wouldnt go that far.

 

[mattmk2]

3 bolts, one at each side and ones behind the brake light which just pops off. they may snap though.

 

[cupra-8v]

they may snap though.

I love the confidence!
