e46 Number 6. 330i Sport Touring. Auto.

[Hixle]

You'll sell the golf within a couple of months and buy a saxo and a 330.
You'll then buy a TT to replace them both.
Repeat x infinate.

PS, fancy pxing the Trophy steering wheel?xx

 

[DanielJames]

A golf? Fuckkkkkkk

It's not like it's a new problem for Dave! He had his first e36 for only a few months back in 2004. I kept it for 8 years afterwards thus bringing balance to the world!

Getting that house purchase out of the way is def a good thing though. Same for getting married. Then it's kids though! Lucky I'm 2 of 3 down and still have two performance cars and an auto BMW estate!

Have to agree with this, just make sure she doesn't expect kids shortly after the wedding and your laughing. 'practical' 172, 'summer fun' z3 and 'track toy' kit car

A Golf. Typing that pains me. It doesn't matter what type it is, its still dull.

You wait, Rev's will sh*t a brick. He simply loves how often you change your cars. Actually I wonder if its made his 'Things i hate' thread.

 

[.GAZ.]

Ollie, have you ever driven a 'fast' Golf?

Where do you live that you get to drive flat out on the limiter? I need to move there!


Fast Golfs are perfect everyday family hatch's.

Ha ha, though you might bring that up

Other than my fiesta 1.6si from 18-21, the current Trophy is the longest ive owned a car by a very long margin!!!

Not gonna argue with that tbh, but priorities have to change. The money ive spent on the Trophy in two years would have given me a nice house deposit lol!!! Hundred quid here, few hundred quid there, all adds up. Mind you, buying a Golf with a drink problem isnt that sensible :clown:

Picked it up last night anyhow. Its deceptively quick, sounds nice, but still a comfy/lazy motorway cruiser.

Pics?

[DanielJames]

Three months tops!

 

[Brett]

I bet that next year in Le Mans that Dave will have had three more cars since the Golf and ended up in another BMW touring to carry a fridge to Le Mans.

Enjoy the Gold though mate. Looking forward to seeing the write up.

 

[EllD90]

Get a thread up for the R32!!

 

[Brett]

Hang on? Don't these engines suffer from the cam chain stretch you talk about everytime something with the 3.2 V6 in is mentioned?

You will have done your research, is it not as common as first thought or is it a risk your willing to take?

 

[Ian_182]

So am i right in thinking that youve just spent your house deposit on a golf.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Hang on? Don't these engines suffer from the cam chain stretch you talk about everytime something with the 3.2 V6 in is mentioned?

As far as im aware, that only affects the MK4 Golf & TT, not the newer shape ones. Hopefully lol!!!

Have already checked though, Golf will fit a fridge in it

But no, havent spent all the house deposit on a golf!! Hopefully selling the 330i & bits of (if not all) of the Trophy will cover most of the new purchase. Do need to fit new rear pads over the weekend though, squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek.

 

[Bubbles]

Why is everyone else finding lush cars, yet weve now been 2 weeks and havent found anything

1 car household FTL

Dave, sell us the golf? we'll give you £100 more than you paid?

 

[Cookie]

Can't you wait til November so I can buy it off you?

 

[.GAZ.]

The colour I wanted too.

Am I sending you some pads then?

 

[Sir_Dave]

Am I sending you some pads then?

Nah, he bought some, but his 'mechanic' failed to realise you need a winding tool for the rear caliper pistons, & he didnt have one.

So ill be doing it over the weekend, along with a good clean. Is filthy already!! Dont mind too much though, means i can give it a good once over.

Have to help Sarah's dad out with discs/pads/gearbox oil change on the A8 anyways. The latter being most amusing as you have to get all 4 wheels off the ground, & spinning ... levitating 2 ton barge anyone?

 

[Russ_16v]

Lol oops. Should look even better once clean and shiney

 

[.GAZ.]

Russ I need disc/pads all round x

Fast Golfs are perfect everyday family hatch's.

A couple of GTi's. And been passenger in Dave's Ed 30 when he was 'toeing' it. I fell asleep.
I know Santa Pod do decent 'run what ya brung' days for limiter action. Personally I prefer something that has a bit of life round the not so straight bits

And yes they maybe 'perfect everyday family hatches' but Dave is 30....sans the family.

 

[Ian_182]

As per post 135.

Havent you just spent your deposit on another car...??????

 

[Sir_Dave]

As per post 135.

Course not lol, it cost roughly what the Trophy/330i are worth. If i had to put more in, i wouldnt have bought it!!

 

[JD]

Mk4 or mk5?

 

[Sir_Dave]

Mk4 or mk5?

DSG Mk5

 

[lewisredfern001]

Nice buy, get some pics up. I assume your mpg spreadsheet was ignored? Or has it panned out ok for your commute?

 

[Bluebeard]

You've bought a mk5 R32??!!

There is 100% something wrong with your brain. You have got some sort of medical condition.

 

[lewisredfern001]

^^^^ because he changed car AGAIN or because of it being a mk5 R32

 

[Bluebeard]

Half and half.

He hated the last golf he had.

 

[Djw John]

Im with you Dan, whilst Gaz's mk5 is nice and sounds awesome I just dont get why Dave bought one at all. And a DSG one at that!

 

[.GAZ.]

DSG is pish tbh. Well, it is for 'pressing on'.

About town I wish I had DSG but one but for all other scenarios manual FTW!

 

[.GAZ.]

Get some pics up ya tadger x

 

[Russ_16v]

Russ I need disc/pads all round x

I can do them for ya dude but id hate to think about the postage cost! lol

 

[.GAZ.]

Get me a price dude, I can use that to haggle up here.

 

[Gally]

Mental. I <3 your face so much but you clearly have something wrong... somewhere.

I have no comment to make on the car though!

Everybody wanna be like....

[Gally]
