Arrow Got My Beater!!!!!

haha finally finalized a deal on my beater.
Got a 94 Volkswagon Golf 5 dr Diesel!!!!
Hahaha over 800 km per tank.
Bring on the torque!!!
85 hp and hauling!!!!!!!!!!

It's in good shape, paint needs a buff and polish (Twitch, u wanna help?), and a set of tires. Not bad for $5000.

woohoo no more asking the wife for rides.

EDIT: this doesn't mean I'll be your friend now Jimbo!!!

Well my beater can drive over top of all your beaters
Hell we can probably put some of your beaters in the back of mine and make a super beater

Unfortunately mine didnt cost 1000

That's great!

How many Km does it have on the odometer?
I just went over 350,000 in my Diesel Golf - of coarse mine's 8 years older than your's.

Eight hundred km to a tank?
That's sissy stuff.

Mine gets just under 1100.........

Only 48hp. A wopping 78 ft/lbs of bone crushing torque though!

200 K'S
The 800 is based on the trip meter that was set by the lady I bought it from. She told me that she actually never measured how much it ran, so before she sold it she decided to try. When I EVENTUALLY fill it up again, I'll have a better idea.

Now to start finding some mods for it.......hahah I can't believe I just though about doing up a diesel volkswagon. ..... although some suspen.... <shakes head> what am I thinking??? Need to save for the TA
