I think that is the modern expression!

My Mk 2 Golf GTI has been torched this week!

Pointless waste of a good car. I had been using it almost daily for 4 years and was keeping it forever. Totally factory standard apart from subtly lowered springs. White, 3-door, small bumper, tinted glass, 15" BBS RA wheels. Perfect specification for me. No rot, never been welded - even the driver's seat bolster was un-ripped. What I now find after a look through the normal sites is that 1) It will not be easy to find equivalent replacement, and 2) if I do find one, I cannot afford to buy it.

My advice now - don't get too attached to your cars.

Sorry to hear that news mate

I too have a mk2 golf that I love to bits so I can understand your pain.

They are starting to creep up in price. Finding a good one is the hardest part.

I seem to remember your from the northampton area?

My friends sharan was recently torched there as well, so sorry to hear yours has ended up with the same fate

There are some sick people about, problem is they'll unlikely be caught , far easier for the police to let the insurance just pay out whilst they sit around catching people speeding which is far easier /less work.... Hope you find an enthusiast owner selling to someone who will continue to look after it.
