    Well hello :)

    I’m Ian from Rochdale ;)

    My missus just dusted off my unfinished Mk2 R32 and transported it to the body shop as a birthday present :)

    It’s been so long I don’t have a clue where I’m upto with it so thinking of having it finished professionally.

    Also it has a sunroof so I’m thinking of a new roof skin but can’t find much on google.

    Anyway, hello, it’s been too long!!

    My apologies for not welcoming you sooner Ian - I honestly thought you were still knocking around and didn't realize you were off the grid for a while.
    Anyways welcome back.

    Thanks Robert :thumbup:

    I was totally off grid, miles off, but always wanted to finish my Mk2.

    I never have had anything to do with with FB not just for the club but across the board
    It’s the work of Satan himself I just can’t stand it

    Nice to see you here Ian. I've barely visited over the last several years, tend to spend most of my forum time on Briskoda, as the missus runs a Mk1 Fabia.
    How are you?
    I've been in a Mk4/9N Polo for the last few years, smashing little thing. [:D]

    I’m great thanks and still appreciate the offer you made me 5 or more years ago (but can’t remember exactly why you did offer:thumbup:), must have been something to do with the new house.

    I’ve just signed up as paid member which is as far up the Club GTI ladder as I want to go :lol:

    Yes, I’m sure it’s designed to numb the brain.

    Haha, I'd forgotten all about that. How is the house? Guess you've had a while to upgrade it, bet it's very different to the pictures I remember seeing.
    We moved last year, amazing place owned by same landlady as the last one.
    I might do the same with membership, and certainly feel the same! Committees and me is a combination that will never be tried again. :lol:

    It’s all finished except for 1 room, it was meant to be a bathroom but it’s ended up a makeshift gym. The whole thing was much more work than I expected, we went back to brick inside and even removed the entire roof to get it from this:

    To this:

    And I agree, committees, especially treasurers, not for me at all :lol::lol::thumbup:
