White Silver Golf R 7.5

Maybe you’ll do your inner tailpipes on the next wash

I can testify that they are a total pain in the backside to clean. You'd need wire wool and metal polish every week.

That would get old very quick. OCD nightmare

How are you feeling about it all in all at this stage Nick?

Use an old wheel wollie every time you wash keeps on top of it

Get it jammed right up there

You know what I'm like with my cars and even I can't be bothered to do it everytime.

My old wheel woollies (not the proper ones) are near as bald as I am. Would be no use at all. Once a month (well maybe a bit longer) with the wire wool and metal polish will do. May not have it much longer anyway.....

I was running out of time unfortunately....made the mistake of doing the Golf last

I minted my pipes the week after I got the car, it took ages and they where black in no time again........

That was a year ago!

The novelty wore off and I concentrate my clean OCD on the Caterham garage ornament now and just drive the Golf not worried about how clean it is, still love it though. Great car.

A spray of Articulate and a blast with the pressure washer tidies up the pipe insides easily enough.

A cylinder polishing mop in the end of the drill makes light work of exhaust tips.

And if they're in really bad condition...

@NickR85 would you have been heading Bangor bound in this around 1745 this evening?

 

[JackMO]

Haven’t done anything to this yet apart from drive it. Hadn’t been washed in weeks due to being so busy then suffering from man flu (I survived).

Proper nice and great colour too- really sharp. Think I've spotted it around town a few times too!

 

[redanni]

Was just wondering about this today, any interest in it yet?

 

[NickR]

@NickR85 would you have been heading Bangor bound in this around 1745 this evening?

No buddy I haven’t been out in a couple of days. Been unpacking the new house....

I really need to get a decent garage up ASAP...

You from Ballymoney?

 

[NickR]

Some interest but I believe most of it is from the mainland. @moglie is looking after all that for me....I’m just enjoying it in the meantime. Part of me thinks I should just hold onto it

I am almost certain it was an R and the plate was definitely RXI 2*2! Really thought it was your car lol

I just checked....it’s still in the driveway

I hope it hasn’t been cloned...

 

[JackMO]

You from Ballymoney?

Yes, I sure am.

Are you thinking of changing it?

 

[NickR]

Yes, I sure am.

Are you thinking of changing it?

Must keep an eye out for you. Yeah it’s up for sale with Performance Cars NI. I’m still not sure I’m doing the right thing but with so much other stuff going on this year it’s probably sensible to let it go.

It doesn’t get used as much now that I have a diesel Passat for work.

Yeah! I drive a white MK6 GTI, I’ll give you a wee flash if I see you.

Do you have anything on your radar to change to or just let t go and drive the Passat?

What's your Reg, Jack? Must keep an eye out for you too!

Although there aren't many Mk6 GTI's around Ballymoney, so you won't be hard to spot! Ha!

It is N23 JMO.

Yeah, there doesn’t seem to be many in the toon!

I’m thinking of something a bit cheaper to free up some funds. I’m looking at a few very different options such as a Porsche 944, E36/E46 M3, E39 M5 or an Impreza STI. All are on my list to own at some point.

Porsche 944 S2 or a 968 Sport would be a great car for you Nick.

It’s only for a toy so I like the idea of something a bit different and older. They vary so much in price!
