Well after a long sabbatical involving ex's,houses,crashes,tvr's blah blah I have decided to rejoin society.................. with this bad boy

welcome back dan , bet its quite good fun throwing the little gti about

good to have you back Dan , that gti will be a lot of fun

Having had lengthy conversations with Dan, MSN chats, texts, emails and all that jazz, one of our regular catch ups started to take a lot more purpose. There was a determination in Dan that meant that he was Hell bent on buying something built purely to put a grin on his face.

A couple of early choices had been sold before he could get there and then this little beauty presented itself. Phone calls were made, emails exchanged and like days of old, Dan and I departed on a day trip to sunny Brighton to pick up the little fella.

The trademark inspection when through it's paces with the obligatory tyre kicking and teeth sucking done and truly dusted. Now all we had was the small matter of a 180 mile test drive home

I'll let Dan take it from here but all I will say is that it's great to have him back on board

welcome back Dan! what plans do you have for it?

Bit of change then Dan, looks like a proper little track weapon

Right, not only have I been away from here but computers in general....after a quick photobucket and posting lesson from the big man I'll try again

I sold the cerb a few months ago to buy a little house which is great and all that jazz but after just a few weeks I knew I needed something to fill a void and drive fast. A tow mule and track toy were needed. Now I coudn't afford or want another money pit just something to make me grin. As luck would have it Stu found the pug in the classifieds I had already looked at:cheers2:
