Welcome -plenty of advice about buying/owning a g40 and quite a nice helpful community here... even if i do say so myself.

Hi Andy, got some 'hello's' myself when I joined the other day, so I'm passing on the glad tidings!
I've owned my G for 9 years, but not driven it for nearly 6, so when it gets back on the road it'll be like having it for the first time all over again! This forum is certainly a good way to build enthusiasm, I've spent a lot of time in the last few days just browsing the site and there certainly is a wealth of information from clearly knowledgable chaps. It makes me realise how little I know!

Thanks for the welcome. Didn't think i would get any replies as I'm not a G40 owner. I'm from Essex, Colchester if you know essex. I have had a look I don't think anyone wants to px. I want to keep the golf in my family, so might be selling to the misses. I hope to have g40 by early-middle of next year. I go to college with the person that brought the ford blue g40 off the forum. He loves it and that where my love has come from. Let me no If anyone is interest in a 1.6 16v golf then I can get pics and all info up.
Thanks andy

Wilco fast fit mate on butt road sorry forgot to add that. Go out from time to time, not too much anymore though, duno if its either growing up or the G gets more attention from the police, used to go out all the time in my FOX coupe! your quite welcome to come over and have a gander or something!

If there are some more G's going will have to park up for some photo's though!
