I drove a Passat Tdi hire car once, tbh the thing was pretty nippy, not break neck fast (obvioulsy) but on boost (as I was all the time as I drove it like a hero) it wasn't bad.
I could never understand why rep mobile drivers always like sitting up peoples backsides on the motorway etc, until...
A dude quite near me has one in his garage - he also has a SWB one too ! I've no idea if it's a real one etc as i've only seen it once. It's worth a lot though.
^ Yeah that's one of the pics I have (the one I mentioned earlier) I must admit the wheels do look white there, I still tihnk they are silver in real life though, so I guess it's the pic.
When I go to view a car I always (well 99% of the time) I have the readies to buy it if they wouldn't budge on the price. If the cars over priced i'm likely to wait a bit until the seller realises it & lowers it a bit.
I will haggle though & i'd expect to be haggled with, folk who go in low (or...
I really don't get why the car has that bonnet vent on it ! Not only that it looks awful too.
They should be left alone ! (unless of course your going for coilovers & different wheels etc)
It's quite odd to see so many red mk1's for sale tbh, usually there aren't any then maybe one will come up.
I was looking at the two on PH & saw how cheap they were, then I saw they were both recorded - I realised then they weren't that cheap at all tbh.
^ I have a few other pics of that car, it looks really light in that pic, in the other pics I have (taken in a big garage) it looks more like RB - as Ali says though it's not RB, I think it's more of the original Alpine colour (the bloke has a load of those)
I also have a pic of LHD acid...
I really like them now (they look so much better than the five door) Nice one :D
I saw a white one a while ago with an 'M' badge on it, oh dear !:lolup: The dude driving it was a bit embarrassed once I got level with him lol ! (I think it was a low engine one)
There are five red mk1's currently for sale at the min.
Three of which are recorded. It's only Iain's one & the other dude's up there that aren't recorded (there are two on ebay, plus that one above)
Nice motor, I know that JD looked after it well. The only thing it do to it would be to maybe lose some of the stickers from it ?
Sorting out the dash strips isn't that much of a problem tbh.
Happy motoring dude, take it easy !
