An owner but the old vw emissions chip is threatening to blow apart the bomb proof statement

. Can feel like the cars about to take off sometimes when you stop and the engine goes mental (I'm not paying their fees to fix their mistakes)

Dublin bus is probably quicker to get anywhere in the city from crumlin driving a gti... you'd be stopped every 500 yards!

This isnt easy for me to talk about

. In 2003 I bought a new black GTI. She was beautiful, Alicia was her name after Alicia silverstone, big fan back in the day.

Anyway on moving to a different job with a lot more driving I sold the GTI to a local guy and the car is still going strong. To be honest its not easy seeing him driving her through the town with his hand on her stainless steel globe giving her what for while she roars in pleasure, it hard to listen to. She used to roar like tgat for me when I feathered her throttle.

I've seen guys with ex girlfriend's of mine and not batted an eyelid but this hurts my heart. Oh Alicia how I miss you so

I should probably seek counselling

True. Had one. Great torque.

But its rare the engines give trouble in any cars now. Its the bits thats bolted to the engine that go bang first

Owner here.

Though it's not drive able at present but that's allowed as It's a 1982 gti undergoing a heart transplant.

I've owned a few ventos over the years (saloon golf) and also had an Octavia vrs (same car as the golf but better in every way). I'm a VW fanboy though. Especially the older stuff.

Dark side performance in the uk (i think) does some scary things with diesel VAG cars.

Yea the owners of Vw golfs love them..

Especially when its high line version from UK decides to bring the family all 480 of them in December to devalue the s##t out of its Irish cousin's

Im not an owner or fan.. but let's say im vag tech...

Asian market overtaking big time..

Historic cars going to be thing of the past...when modules decide to give up without updates.. Warning to peeps driving French 10yr plus cars

Hope you have good AA or RAC cover for when your Range Rover breaks down. Had a brand new Range Rover sport and it was never out of the garage getting warranty work done. Looks and drives great, but the most unreliable car I have owned. Stick to your BMW.
