Your Non Mk2 Cars or Bikes / Daniel San
So having killed the other one and nearly myself I have taken the agreed value payout and found another … currently having a great time cleaning it up but atm it doesn’t run as fuel isn’t reaching the carb… Simple mechanics which is just about doable for me …
Not everyone’s cup of tea some May remember them fondly I hope to keep a little build thread , it’s a 1989 C90 MG ( electric start ) 1604 miles on the clock

As he was advertised



Seat off and cleaned up



Rear end stripped down and everything cleaned up









Rear end nearly re assembled, engine next week

Had a black cardboard cover over the top of the rad , it was pretty good not cracked or flaking … it’s gone !! Probably abducted by aliens, question is does anyone have one or have a suggestion for a replacement … needs to be mat black ,3-4mm , fairly waterproof material and obviously good up to rad temperature ….

Mk2 Golf Chat / Facebook...
I have tried and tried , FB is just not for me, it’s more irritating than the Daily Mail...The good news is that by the sound of it standard Mk2s will be Scarcer than Escort Mexico’s soon...

General Chat / Had to share, made i larf
A man goes to a seafood restaurant and asks to see the live dishes of the day.
The Waiter leads him over to a large tank, and the man examines the fish.
"I'll have the little green squid - the one in the corner with the hairy lip, please" says the man.
"O.K." replies the Waiter and calls out "Gervais!!" A little French chef appears with a large knife, the Waiter instructs the chef to kill the little green squid with the hairy lip.
Gervais is just about to slice at the poor squid when he notices the sad look on its face.
Gervais is touched, and admits that he hasn't the heart to kill the squid.
"Not to worry" says the Waiter, and calls out "Hans!!" at which an enormous German bloke comes out of the kitchen.
"Sir", says the Waiter, "this is Hans, our dishwasher. Hans, kill that squid!"
The dishwasher catches the squid, and wielding a huge rolling pin is just about to bludgeon the little green fella with the hairy lip when it cringes back and gives a little cry.
"I am sorry sir, I just cannot kill the squid" Hans admits, his lower lip trembling.

"Well sir," says the Waiter, "it just goes to show. Hans that do dishes, can be soft as Gervais. With mild green, hairy lip squid."

Your Non Mk2 Cars or Bikes / I have arrived
Another addition to the fleet ,not the fastest, prettiest or  "uncommon" st of machines, probably number something like  689,782,456 of the 100,000,000  built but it is a bit special.
Usually  seen carrying a large pig, a fridge five kids and a wife in a burka... those accessories will be later on but for now I have recently acquired a nearly 8hp F reg 1988 Honda C90(G) with 2397 miles ...
It’s been  in two collections in its life and I am beginning to think it should be in a museum (like me)
Stripping it down to clean it has been a pleasure , not a lot to do , engine alloy needs some tlc and elbow grease but when it’s done it will join the fleet as a sunny day potterer....
oh and registered within a month of the Mk2

General Chat / Recent posts
Just a thought , might the “recent posts” search be better in a more prominent place? Currently hidden in community so not a biggie... maybe “your posts” also?

I might be the only one who uses it though

Mk2 Golf Chat / Decision time ...
Another apocalyptic choice ...
So the crappy paper bar code thing on the drivers door  b pillar of Vinnie is now totally illegible and just a fluffy stuck on bit of paper... should I leave it. Remove it or get a copy done... Think a new shiny one will look wrong ?
Also anyone know  where can I get one made?
