Title: Lucky 39!
Post by: madmax on October 09, 2013, 12:51:22 PM
Hi I'm max and i'm a bit mad 24 years of age and owned 38 cars so far and this 205GTI has been my absolute all round favorite by FAR  :)
Have owned now for just over a month and just doing a little cleanup of the interior and engine bay and shes coming along very nicely.
Haven't had a problem with her yet touch wood starter is a little clicky at times so might whip that out and attempt to get it 100% Also some ass rear ended me on the motorway last week and now my hatch wont open! Fun times :)

Defiantly the most fun factory vehicle i have ever driven! Bring on the Summer!

Nice car you have there, I hope it treats you well. If When it breaks have a search and chances are it's happened before to someone else!

Ive got a spare starter motor for free if you wanna come pick it up? It needs a re-con but might be easier to work on a starter and not have your car off the road.

Wy the big mirror, when you are in a frog it doesn't matter who is behind cause they won't keep up or get past.

Nice 205 bud, my wife wanted a project car so we got a 205 gti. She loves ripping into it.
There is a lot of aftermarket stuff going on but she wants to keep it the 1.9L 8V.
Have you checked out faststock yet?

They are so good I tried it in one of my other cars and it changed my life! Highly recommended also good when your chopping through traffic on the motorway  8)

cool car! im a bit gutted i got a 205 as my 2nd car as ive had it for neigh on 6 years now and i still dont want to EVER sell it, so if i want to own any other car it will have to be in conjunction with the 205 wich i really cannot afford (ahem just brought an E30 with my travel savings  :-X)

I wish that I could say the same about mine. The red is now more like orange, or blistered sunburn...
