goLucky euro cars

Post by goLucky »

Hi all, This here is my current euro fleet. I just got a 2000 gti vr and I've had this bmw 2002 for a little bit. Image

Yes, I bought that silver gti on CL that needed a clutch AND had body damage. I am a sucker for a project. Oh, and yes they are both parked in my 'garage' and yes, I did do the clutch there. In December. And yes, it was cold.

The white golf that you can see one tail light of is the 2002 gls 4-door that I bought new and now is the daily driver of my ex. It has 60k miles and is completely stock down to the hubcaps. It's nice to get to drive it occasionaly and makes me feel good to have my kid transported around in. Plus, it will probably be his first car one day.

The BMW is what some would call 'harsh', I prefer 'exceptionally stiff' it has a full Ireland engineering suspension with all the urethane and coil-over goodness + LSD + Toyo proxes R1R's + low ground clearance = Summer only.

Nice. You owened the green one for a while also, right? I got to drive that one recently before it was sold again; to the guy who bought my 1600 (the orange one).

Did you ever see the one over on State st that got hit by a boat?
I got that one for parts. I'm going to fab mounts for the new drivetrain for my blue one in it and then swap over the subframe, but that's a whole other can of worms.
