I guess I could post my car and some relevant things about it... and stuff

This is my 19th car, the $200 1991 Golf Diesel 5spd (1.6L non turbo ) with when I bought it 250,XXX or less KM on it

I bought it off hearing there was a blue on blue MK2 sitting behind a building a few towns over, went and met the mechanic who owned it, said he wanted $100 for it and I peed myself because it was clean AND diesel. I didnt know if it ran so I already planned to part it out and make some money but low and behold it started, so within 15 min I had plates on it and was ready to drive it home when the mechanic saw and said "WOAH its running now?" and proceeded to want $200 for the ownership haha

After over a year of ownership its come a LONG way and had a lot replaced/changed

Heres my VWvortex.com thread: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5546772-My-2nd-MK2

The day after I bought it

Soo jelly! those pirellis are so sick! But you have plans on new wheels? 16s maybe? or 15s since you changed them bumpers and you're running a little too low for 16s, I suppose?

keep up man, I love your car

Honestly I dislike both those sizes, really wanted to keep my 13's but I have to get them widened to be where I want with them. Maybe in spring ill get them banded to 8j and 9j but until then I have a line on some 14X7 BBS RS'
