Blast from the Past...

Just thought I'd share this with you guys... Blast from the past.

This was me squaring about my dad's car 18 years ago... Even then - I had a feeling that he'd made the right choice in getting a 1.8 16V GTi Jetta. I think I'm inspecting it;



2 years later when I was 3 1/2, I was playing "Petrol garages" outside, and somehow had managed to unscrew the Jetta's petrol cap... And filled the car with water using the hose pipe.. playing petrol pumps!...

...Basically - the car was never the same again, the injectors might have seized? I don't think my dad's managed to love me ever since.

This is how our driveway looked 12 years ago... Mk2 1.8 Golf "Tour" and a 2.0L Passat CL or GL. Yeah baby, me and my bro take a pose infront of the Passat before dad had to get rid of it a month later with another addition to the family on the way.

Reg is N536 WNF - dunno if this rings any bells to anyone on here?

cool pics my passats on an L lol

you'll be pleased to know that your dads car is still in one piece. at the moment it's up for sale with half a vr6 conversion,
.

My dad's just wet himself mate!! And says that it looks magnificent ha. But is a little dissappointed that the party piece (the electric wing aerial has been removed) There's been a blast of excitment in the house! I'm amazed!! You got any more pics? Dad would love to see 'em!! Ha NO WAY!!

Thats Nuts!

I'm amazed that it's still going! Could've sworn that that would've been off the road years ago!!

Amazing!! Thanks a lot mate!! My dad's amazed!! You've worked wonders with it... so the engine you took out before putting in the VR6, was that the standard engine?

she had a 1.8 gti corado as a daily when she had the mk1 golf.
then she had a few mk1 cabriolets (3 to be exact :S one after the other)
then she had a standard 225 audi s3
that sh swaped for a mapped 265bhp one that she got atmo
