Re: Introduce yourself
Hi there
I'm Matt and I'm new to the forum altogether (did register on the old one - for the last 6 days!) but not new to Scirocco's.
My first one was 21 years ago in 1988 where I had a 1983 1.6GL in champagne metallic with burgundy velour.
This time round, I've just acquired a 1990 GT in white as a bit of a project/play thing.
Hoping to make a few meets in it - Stanford Hall is not to far from home near Derby - and meet some fellow owners!
Here's a few pics - apologies for the quality of the '83 model, no such thing as megapixels then!
Cheers
Matt

Re: Introduce yourself
Thought i'd intorduce myself as I've not done it yet!!
I'm Rich and P3rks off the old forum. Currently a student in Leeds and living in the worse area to be keeping an old car in (many break-ins and little scrotes kicking/bricking cars for fun). From Sheffield originally.
Drive a GTX which is sat in pieces at the moment awaiting a 16v KR engine which is currently sat in my front living room, which smells nice!

Im 17
I'm about to get mugged by my insurence company for my first ever policy - £1500
