    Hello everyone.

    A newbie to the whole veedub scene and I've gone and popped my virgin veedubbing with a mk2 GTi 8 Valve. Currently an MOT failure but in good enough knick to save and got it for a good price.

    Needs a fair amount of work done on it before its on the road but a low price allows me to spend more!lol

    So again hello and hope to see sme of you at shows when it's back on the road!

    Welcome accolite of the true faith. "8-VALVE" His name is Legend![%]
    Sorry. Would normally have welcomed you earlier, but I was much too busy being the THICK Oirish butt of other people's cleverness. As usual![:$]


    Now, that does sound Oirish!:clap:

    Growler a nickname from college I'm guessing because after a heavy night in the morning my voice sounded like a tinfoil factory!

    Nealey to make it roadworthy a MOT would be a start but it needs a drivers wheel arch and inner wing, drivers sill and drivers lower rear corner and new headliner but i believe a headliner is a common gti fault!lol

    danster i look worst than that! The morning after!lol and I'm NOT from Greenland!

    A guarded welcome from the 16v appreciation society!

    In case you're not aware, danster is the head of the 8v appreciation society.

    His car is green, and he uses the remaining paint as make up, like so:

    There is possibly a connection between the green demeanour and 16v power outputs, but I'm speculating!

    Chris is Shrek.
    He is green with envy of the rapport the 8v lads have. He wants to join in but is alienated by his choice of engine.:lol:

    First he b0110cks the true faith, (8-VALVE, for only he has a torque curve to match 020 ratios), for scaring the new guys. [:x]

    Now he posts his morning after photos.[xx(]

    Only valvers have ears so narrow they cannot hear the call to true faith.[%]

    3/3[:o)]

    [8(] I refer you to danster, the Scotsman with the green paint / make up.

    As you know, 3/3, my car is blue, and white ;)
