no love...?
what do you guys/girls do when you lose interest?
my problem is i was away from the scene for a whole year and im struggling to get back into it, i absolutely love the 20v and its great fun and constantly makes me smile....but the thought of something like an A4 cabby on air and 18 RS's is really really really appealing?!?!

Re: no love...?

Re: no love...?
I've found that with the S3.
Had some problems with it when I first bought it, and random things keep breaking like suspension springs and the infamous coil packs. I think it's just spoiled my interest in the car, I never really go out and drive it just for the sake of it; something I used to do a lot with my GTi.
I'm now on the lookout for a Mk4 Golf R32 to try and kickstart my interest again.

Re: no love...?
Always a tough call mate. I always found giving mine a good wash would bring back the spark if it was ever going grey. I'm still deeply into my car though, and it's more a case of the scene in general which I sometimes get tired of. Caring too much for my car does my head in sometimes, with people not understanding why you park in the most obsolete parking space to avoid the doors getting knocked etc.
It's still early days for your car though mate, it's got alot of potential! I guess now is the time to decide which way to go though, you don't want to put even more money into it and coming to the same conclusion.

Re: no love...?
hmm its really tough, i think im going to go out and drive a few cars again.....A4 cabby, M3 cabby and a TT
Re: no love...?
Done the exact same thing... wasnt on here for the best part of 6-7 months - then I got back into it... dunno how - think once i got the Quad - i started smelling petrol again then after that I was onto redoing my BBS wheels
Re: no love...?
the main decision is.....buy wheels and finish off my interior or put that money with cash from the polo and buy something else!
obviously down to me im just after opinions and experience of others
