Agreed. It was a bit of an impulse buy. But now we have experienced convertible ownership, it'll be a really tough car to replace, as it's the best car we've ever owned.

Potentially sold it 
My wife has been joking about me selling the golf as its sort of surplus to requirements at the moment. So she got my 4yr old to make a for sale sign
Which I stuck on the dash at Dubshed yesterday
Had a man from Dublin (who already has a silver anni) interested in buying it
I'm torn, as its been a 10 year love hate affair, but it's currently running 100% and sitting how I want it. But the rust is always looming, if I keep it any longer its going to need a proper restoration, but with the 196k on it it's hard to justify pumping the money into it as I'll never get a return.
Big question is what to replace it with?

Bought an old B6 rag top a few years ago for not a lot of money. The kids are always asking about it. Lovely thing to drive, smooth V6, well built, nice seats, quiet as a mouse with the roof up, spacious and classic insurance so costs pennies to run. Hard to beat. Well up until the point I decided I liked it so much that I got it painted and now it’s no longer a cheap runner lol

Sons mk4 anniversary golf. Stripdown has commenced.
It's about time I looked at this again 
Rear subframe out, exhaust off and boot removed to scrap. Found nice holes at base of both A pillars also, going to be fun
. Inner arches don't look too bad, outer arches are well crusty! Chassis rails look OK at the minute, but haven't poked too hard yet

6 Weeks Time
Project up for sale as I just don’t have the time between work trips, buying random old hot hatches and eating kebabs
Doesn’t need much, but scabby, don’t poke the sills or chassis rails
Was running well when I bought it…
No low balls I know what I have
Appreciating classic, hard to get a good one

Finally got it through the test 4th time lucky. Emissions were sky high and took some effort to get them in tolerance. Roll on the summer
