Welcome mate, I'm from kinross myself so not too far from you!

What colour is your golf? I've seen a 5 door on tarantulas in perth?

It's taken you 2 years to post?!

Nice to see another Scottish member, check out the meets section, there is a Scottish meet in 2 weekends time, you should come along...

hi yeah that mk1 on the tarantulas is mine,bit rough but still solid for being 30 this year,sure I've seen your polo at a couple of meets as well as craigs one which is very similar,haha yeah I kinda joined then forgot all about it,just given myself a slap now ,hmmmmm might just see what I'm doing then and maybe come along to the meet and also cheers for the welcomes :-D

Awesome, I saw you at an SVAG meet at broxden I think

My breadvan is pretty similar to Craigs just nowhere near as clean :p

You dont see many 5 door golfs though, looked great

yeah sure it was the one we ended up in the ice rink car park if my memory serves me well?, yeah craig's may have a new owner soon aswell, yours isn't too bad though, what's the spec on it?, yeah not a lot of folk go for the 5doors but I actually prefer the styling as they look more finished than a 3dr to me and there mega practical too,just not that cheap now especially mine

There was one where everyone went to the ice rink because it started raining but I thought everyone was just going home so went home! (Plus I don't know where the ice rink is)

There was another I saw you at, I was talking to Scott who has a silver mk2f breadvan for most of the time though.

My breadvan is just a 1043cc, its off the road now though, have a GT engine to go into it and maybe fit mk2 golf arches on the rear

Driving a matt grey polo gt at the minute

I wouldnt mind either a 5 door or 3 door mk1, but already have too many cars!

yeah that was right, think it was the last meet I was at I saw you then, been a few meets with a load of breadys about, sounds like your wee bready is going to be ace then, how easy are the golf arches to fit to the breadvan? as the rear arches are about the only thing id change about a bready aswell, the wee gt sounds cool, got any pics of it? as haven't seen a mk3 done in matt yet, haha no such thing as too many cars, if I had space id have tons of cars and they'd probably all be pre 93 dubs too

I don't go to many meets to be honest, but next time I see you at one I'll say hello!

And there seems to be alot of breadys around here It shouldnt be too hard, the only problem is I really like the look of the breadvan arches, but would be great to be able to fit whatever wheels I want.

Only had the gt on the road for 2 weeks, and its got a few annoying problems but I still love it

True, just don't have the space as already have 3, and technically only space for 2 lol

look at that. i join and say hi nae one talks to me but everyone loves you mark. thats bad crack like. and i am a polo owner your not tut tut people

will keep an eye out for you at meets as well, oh I do like the mk3 in matt, actually suits it . yeah I'm with you on liking the bready arches but as you say they aren't great when it comes to fitting wheels that's the only reason id change them, old cars are never without there niggles but good to hear your enjoying the little gt, tut tut dougie getting jealous ,might be a polo owner soon though,oops let the cat out the bag there
