Look out Preeny!!

hey andrew
watchout - the Caddys are harder to handle than the GTIs

[gtimk5]

I know Lams, but I have driven old golfs for years too so I sort of know what to expect mate!!
The Caddy ute wasnt quick enough to find out how good/bad the rear leaf springs work!!

[WEDEL.1]

Is it the 1.9TDI?

If so, we can use yours as the guinea pig for mods to our Golf

Great new Andrew - I'll be round to sus out the new ride soon (and to look through your master cylinder reservoirs)

[gtimk5]

Maris, it will get the Oettinger reflash, dont worry!! No "guinea pig" technology there!! I thought your golf was a 2L
Chris, I am hoping to get it tomorrow, have to see....
I may be at work sometime over the workshop assembling a Kombi motor. Same deal as the other weekend mate, knock on the window but dont hold me up too long. I am still to recover from my trip away and the customers are giving me hell!!

This is turning into a lack of communication disaster with the local dealer. After numerous phone calls to them last week and another this morning, its dragging out. I was told this morning that I would get a phone call by 11.30am and its now 3.20pm. I did get one phone call from someone in there who was registering it in my name but that was at about 11am.
I am patient, dont worry, and I refuse to ring them again.
Bit of a stand off going on here I think!!
We will see what happens next eh?

that's annoying isn't it Andrew. Hope it works out, and the sooner the better!

[gtimk5]

Tis annoying Jarred, if they say something, they could have the courtesy to ring back. At least its a nice and dry Caddy as its nearly snowing this arvo and going down to 2 degrees tonight.

Ahh that's a real bugger, Andrew. Poor service.


Yeah it was about 3 degrees all day today here. freezing. I'm about to head down to the workshop to grab a package i left there.. Be interesting to see what the temp reading is...

[gtimk5]

The stand off is complete after I ran the dealers last night, 30 hours after they promised to ring me....
I may have the Caddy by the weekend after I gave them a serve about a lack of communication. Its not hard eh?
Heres hoping....

Ask for a loan R36 for a week for deliveries in the interim.

[gtimk5]

WooHoo!!!
Finally got my Caddy and wow, what a great van it is.
Off carsales and after a lot of being mucked around by dealers and finance companies its all come to fruition.
Check it out, better than brand new by far and a credit to its former owner, Vince.

Pimp yo ride - that is awesome! Welcome to the oiler club!

Khartoums and colour coding all round, it looks great Andrew ! You don't even have to touch it, what kind of business was the caddy in before?
