So this is a thing that is happening. Friend of mine who used to use this truck to transport his Ducati to the track is now retired, and has lost interest. Car is a running gas (1.6 or 1.7, I forget) model with factory A/C!

I'll be going out next Thursday to test drive it and put a deposit, and will be transporting it home next month. The guy is super legit - I can't wait!

I'm so jealous. I really want a diesel one for my 60 mile daily commute.

That is most definitely not a Cadillac. I've been tricked!

I have a diesel one - major project status but the engine is running. If you're around northern VA we could work something out; I'm planning on selling it.

This'll be three; Rabbit, project diesel caddy (probably selling it), and this one, which is a gasser.

I had a 2013 GTI, now totaled, and wife has a 2015 GTI. Haha

It's gorgeous. Guy that owns it is a master mechanic, owned his own shop, now specializes in porsche and ferrari but is semi-retired. Used this for transporting his Ducati to the track, but as that's sold he doesn't want it to sit

That's awesome haha, ever thought about getting yourself an Mk7?

I remember a while back you said you hit a deer or something with the '13?

LuczOr > liquid_popcorn
02/08/2015 at 16:57

I'm on the west coast, so that's probably not going to happen, lol.

liquid_popcorn > LuczOr
02/09/2015 at 09:41

haha, yeah, that might be difficult

liquid_popcorn > jkm7680
02/09/2015 at 09:42

yeah, I totaled my 13 with the deer incident.

I drive the wife's mk7 occasionally, and may be getting the mk7 R in a manual once it's available; still trying to decide if I want to do that or put more into the mk1s though.

02/09/2015 at 09:42

uh, no idea. haha

Get it! I saw one at the DC Auto Show, looked super nice.

liquid_popcorn > jkm7680
02/10/2015 at 09:18

Haha, I know. I've seen a few from HQ come through here for service (sidebar: Pirelli Sottozero winters look gangster), but I can't decide if I want to tie up that much cash...it's a lot of mk1 stuff.

Neato - missed this. Go through and make sure the whole A/C compressor bracketing system is tight, because if it ever starts rattling 'twill be a pain in the rear. It's probably better than mine just by not being on a diesel, though.

Noted, thanks! Oldest car I've ever had with working A/C was a 96 Cherokee Sport, so I'm not familiar with the older systems, haha.

02/10/2015 at 16:31

Haha, how far away is work from home? If it was short distance, I'd Mk1 all the things. But if it was like 20 minutes, I'd personally have to Mk7 it.

liquid_popcorn > jkm7680
02/11/2015 at 16:21

haha. It's like 40 minutes, worse with traffic.

jkm7680 > liquid_popcorn
02/11/2015 at 19:55

Time for an Mk7, haha. How does the a/c work in those things?

liquid_popcorn > jkm7680
02/13/2015 at 09:30

hahahaha. What's A/C?

jkm7680 > liquid_popcorn
02/13/2015 at 15:40

Hahaha, at least the heat probably works?
