Simonl Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 ...than on a freshly polished GTI. She scrubs up well Although she might have to go soon That will be a black day for sure! Setting up shop in the not too distant future and need to raise som capital (about £20k). Although i won't get anything back on my car to use, it will clear the finance. So i've been hunting the net and dealerships for something else, something 5dr, a couple of years old, under £9k and fun!!! You wouldn't have thought it could be that hard would you? Looked at an A2 1.6FSI sport (wifeys choice!!! ) very very slow and very clunky suprisingly, not even nippy! Then took out a new shape Astra 1.8 SRI, quite nice, but man you really notice the lack of any turbocharging that's for sure! Going to look at a Megane 1.9dci too (04, 15k miles for £8,500). It's very deppressing when you jump back in the GTI Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated (on the criteria above!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Does the sat nav have telly on the golf? Nice pics by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs32 Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 looking good LeMan - hope there is another solution rather than getting rid. If it does go then would you come back to the GTI after your business priority is sorted ? Sounds like a firm "yes" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Why not move the car into the business? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonl Posted July 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 If you press CD, there's an AUX option in there which i'm 99% sure is the TV option, so yes you can. But i'm not sure if VW can do it. They've made the option available, just not sure if they can supply the hardware needed. But i've been told you can only watch it whilst the car is stationary, which is a bit of a bum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonl Posted July 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 [ QUOTE ] Why not move the car into the business? [/ QUOTE ] Could you explain Dave, being an entrepreneur yourself I'm setting up with 3 others BTW and am only going down this route to avoid VC's and Banks... major cutbacks instead of major investment has to be the way to go IMO. RS32, maybe would come back to the golf as i love it to pieces. Although having the same again is not something i like doing. S3 or R32 if it all goes well... pushbike if it doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ar going into business with others (which is a good way of splitting the risk (but also the profit!), it would be difficult for you to bring in your car without the others doing the same. and then you get into the situation of which car is more expensive etc. best just get the business up and running and see where you are in a year or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonl Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 [ QUOTE ] From the picture it looks like a Ricoh GR Digital [/ QUOTE ] lol, you either have a good eye or a good memory! It's an amazing piece of kit and a very cult camera in the camera world. Ask any proffessional photographer what they think of it and they'll probably have one in their back pocket. If you can find one (Jessops were the only people with stock in the UK) then it's well worth it, it will last forever and is a timeless design! FYI, It won best prestige camera this year and I got mine for £389 Have a look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fresco1 Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Dunno much in the way of detail, but saw a Black 5 Door at Coopers in Portsmouth this evening - 18"s, couldn't see anything else - £24,750 used! Will have a better peak on the way in tomorrow ... better be negative mileage for that price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
