Movin to Adelaide!

[V666]

Hey guys
Im going to be moving to Adelaide at the beginning of November cant wait to get away from the UK!!!

Im after a mk3 golf Gti 8v or 16v, to replace the one I had to sell here in the UK, but cant seem to see one anywhere for sale. Do have different models out there, or am I looking in the wrong places.

Any help would be appreciated thanks

you're going to be a broken dublover...

only vr6s in 5drs came here. or 3dr mk3 cl 1.8s.. no 2.0 8v, no 2.0 16v. no gti even!

on a less grim note, welcome to the forums though.

We never got mk1 GTI's, the 5dr mk2's had a weird lazy 8v pussy engine, The mk3 was 5 dr VR6 only, MK4 was 5dr GTI until the 3dr R32 hit to break the drought....then **** got normal holler

Welcome to the forum we got some really great roads. Don't speed around the cbd you'll get screwed until you figure the camera cars btw.

Hey thanks

Oh great!!! Vr6 conversion it is! I take it G60's are out of the question too?! I almost imported my Golf over, to late now already sold it.

we got 1.8CL in 3 and 5 door, 2.0GL in 5 door and vr6 in 5door as far as mk3's go. we also got 8v digi mk2 gti's. welcome to the forum and congrats on the move

any mk2 is fairly rare here, especially in good condition but its not impossible to find. if you have patience one will turn up. digi's are the best for a vr6 conversion

and yep i've got one of less than 20 S2's in aus its an ABY coupe and im rather chuffed with it hehe.

Had an S2 here in the UK it was the estate version really miss it any about you know of?

well there were only 25 S2's sold in aus between 1992 and 1996, and some have crashed and some have been exported, but all the ones sold were coupes like mine. however theres at least 1 RS2 kicking around plus i'm sure there'd be some secret ones locked up in garages lol. unfortunately theres almost no chance of buying an S2 here no matter how much you're willing to pay. should bring an RS2 with you when you come

Welcome mate, there are a few of us on here that have moved over from the UK, me included !!
Have you been to Australia before ?

Welcome to the forum mate ! Hope you find a replacement too soon.

Did your previous car have 666 on the grille, burgundy in colour ?? I may have seen it somewhere before.

Welcome to the forum. You have already had the low down on GTIs but you can also get Audi A3s and S3s. There are a lot more around now than when I bought mine 2 years back.

You would probably go interstate but that's no big deal. I flew to Melbourne, the guy picked me up from the airport, I checked out the car and then drove back to Adelaide.

www.carsales.com.au or tradingpost

Look us up when you get here. Which burb are you moving to?

[jayjay]

soo many pommies!!

fyi, the first 16v we got here also, came in the mk5... how depressing. they're kicking around though from the great work of Seat and a couple of other importers.
