That's the difference between England and Australia. I do 1000 miles in 2 weeks just getting to work each day. :banana:

I couldn't do that sort of mileage in the mk2, I'd end up killing or beating the cr6p out of some one by the first week.
The mk2 is great for a laught but I don't have the cojones to drive it everyday long distance, quick blasts is enough to give a smile plus more
Yeah, it's a real killer when the local video store is so far away. :rolleyes:
I was just idly flicking through wheel whores forum and came across this;

Is that your MK2 covered in dust? :P
unfortunatly yes, without its bonnet having some minor mods being done to it's bay, we removed the expansion bottle and fitted a top fill rad from a mk1 and relocated the water bottle to the boot, pick it up on the 6th for my birthday.
Thankfully the list of mods to do is down to 2 items
If you're bringing your car to Oz you'd better get used to driving long distances. Sydney to Canberra is considered a day trip and it's 200 miles each way. My GTI has 214000 k's on the clock and I wouldn't think twice about taking it to Sydney and back in the same day.

Distances isnt a issue, problem is london driving is all start stop, the mileage I put on it is pure b roads and some free way to shows. My caddy broke down on me about a year ago and I grabed the golf to comute to and from work for the week while the van was been repaired. Loved the drive but when I arrived home every evening I wanted to kill.
Hence lock it up for the week and then squeeze every little pony I can over a short twisty road in a short period of time.
I love the car to bits buts couldn't drive it every day like that in london. Hence when I'm in it, I drive it like I stole it. as it should be,
long live mk2's
