Dave, how could you
End of an era, first the economy and now this. Worlds gone mad, thats what it is.
We`ll have to settle with the legend, future generations will hear of the tails of Daves huge spoiler, but few will believe.
Rip Daves spoiler
It's worse than that..........
Taking the spoiler off was 'symbolic' - (to me) I suppose. I am going to break the car.
It's been huge fun for me - and there's loads that I'd still like to do, the trouble is, I just can't justify spending a shedload more money on a car I hardly use. I sorted the suspension out at the start of the year with the intention of getting more into trackdays, but we're into July and I haven't been able to do a single one. This is all down to time constraints at weekends - a situation I can't see changing for quite some time. This year, I've only actually used it for one rolling road day and the trip to Crail the week before last. Oh- apart from that I used it to run around for a week while the Bammer was off the road. So, working back, I can't justify it sitting there doing nothing either.
I'm doing it with a very heavy heart, believe me.
Bad news, lots of people seem to be selling up or breaking very good cars!
Oh well, I'm interested in your turbo if you're breaking it.

I think you just need to get back out there,and drive it again! maybe change your mind,with a good thrash..
Your choice tho,but sad days for you. Does look strange without that spoiler,after getting used to it on.
What's next on the cards then?

A sad day indeed mate! I'm in a similar position myself, I've had my car for 9 years now, swore I'd never sell it the day I bought it (it's a mk1 Golf with a 20v in it). Things change, I've changed and I'm looking for something to replace it...
Good luck!
Good luck!
Keep it Dave, it wouldn't be the same seeing you and you not being in this mofo. I was thinking all the way back from Crail how good it looked, really had a very nice presence on the road.
I'll be doing the same thing with my cordoba end of the year albeit my motives are entirely different. Only way you'll get sensible money back on a car you've modded is to break it up for bits even tho that's quite sad.
Dave.. it was the line up of Mk2's on sunday wasnt it? I could see how overwhelmed you were...
Tis a sad day though, that Leon is one of the ones I use as a reference point to sate my desire for one.. Ill get one eventually, (theres a red one near where i live .. low, but has lexus lights and scraped up rims .. love the colour, but id have to change stuff and thats where Id use your car as a reference point once again )

it is very sad but the upside is you won't get pangs of longing if you should see him with a new owner....i was ready to torch the my old golf when i found out she'd got a new owner but as luck would have it she died in spectacular fashion and was scrapped
