    Team Green 16V

    So, in life some things come full circle - today that was also the case for a certain MK1.

    I purchased this car and had it shipped back from Brisbane to Matt's workshop so I can get it re-registered.



    I have not spent too much time with the car but in the short time I have had with it, I think I am going to be happy with it.

    First up will be a new exhaust system, then the remainder for Blue Slip and hope it to be on the road before the end of the month.



    I want to thank Matt for encouraging me to pursue it, Limmy and Davin for getting the sale to happen and J-Mac for starting the thing in Brisbane to get it transported. It took over 3 months for me to consider it to it being here so I think I have been pretty patient.



    Also if you ever want to move a car interstate - consider Door 2 Door Car Carrying who had no issues with the car being lowered and were no more expensive than one of the major carriers and will allow personal effect in the car.

    Looking forward to summer now - Go Team Green!

    Congrats on the purchase Mik. I've seen the car a couple of times, but not since being completed and it looked to be a real deal bit of gear. Good to see it's back in safe hands again.

    Thanks for the support Preeny - I hope I am a worthy caretaker.
