I took something quintessentially English to somewhere decidedly Scottish...

Tripled the mileage this year too..

Last summer  I sold my Golf Cabrio for about £930 to a very strange fellow who coup’ed an auction where it failed to reach asking price.

Why  strange? Well, to give one example:

Buyer: I thought I’d do it up and give it to my son as an extra car, you know, cabriolet and all.

EspenO: Oh, so he’s into cars?

Buyer: (blank stare) No.

 

Anyway, two days later it’s on Finn for £1800. Well, best of luck to ya, that was what I was trying for, for two months.

A month later, it’s back, this time in the Spares section. For £215. «Everybody’s messing me around, and I’ve lost the keys. Will scrap it later in the week if nobody wants it». I messaged him to say there was another key among the spares he got with it. The reply: «No.»

So, I was pretty sure the Golf was holding up some wood siding by now (old cars colloquially get turned into nails in Norway, not washing machines 😅)

That is, until I ran the plate again today. It only passed PKK (Norskie MOT) yesterday, with a new owner!

Made my weekend that did. Here’s to two more years for Gloffy Meister 🙂

Went to the beach. 

29mpg uk on this round trip, keeping 70-80 and a bunch of around town driving. Still impresses me for a 6.4 liter engine.

Better mpg than my 2 litre Impreza.
