MK3 Random Thread

I had a mk4 gti. Was a great car. The rivets problem exists with mk3 too.

A MK3 Diesel would be a awesome project car but I've only ever seen the one for sale up in cairns. Dad wouldn't let me bring it back to brisbane I wonder who's got it now

Darren the head mechanic at Canberra VW Centre had a Dragon Green Golf Mk3 diesel which was in imaculate condition. He sold it a couple of years ago to free up some funds for his Mk6 R rebuild project. I was very tempted to buy it but did not need another car at that stage. One of the young mechanics bought it but has since left CVWC and I understood was selling it again about 12 months ago but I lost track of where it ended up.

Camden Gti sell imported cool stuff to transplant.

I plan to drop in a vr6 in our cabby. Getting the bits this weekend

Keen to see how it goes Speed. I got the big list of things to do on my car this weekend but she should be cleaning up nicely with new panels and hopefully some new seats

so...my petrol was on the absolute last bar of red tonight and planned on filling up after work (12AM). Drove to Shell, already $1.47/L O_O....Decided to try my luck just down the road at the BP. $1.24/L
Pulled up behind a silver MK4, basically the kind of one I was thinking about. Guy about to get into his car and seeing another Golf owner he looks at me and I give him the nod, "Nice car" he says. "Thanks" I say.
Is this a sign I should keep holding onto this car because signs point to yes.

I think you should but I'm heaps older and don't worry about petrol costs.

I agree with you. The cost of petrol shouldn't determine the car you buy, the enjoyment factor should.

That is why I am running a TDI, I do not worry about petrol prices at all nowadays

I would love to have a VR6 but the running costs (ie the fuel economy plus premium unleaded) would mean it would have to be a weekend car for fun drives only.
