I have no idea from where he got vw parts to make this car works like this crazy way, maybe he is using a vw beetle parts, anyways.. tell me what you think about this car and the draft, this is like cars games, too much fin!

Enjoy my friends!

Here what I fond on VW official website:

If you buy a Volkswagen Golf S model you will get a total of £3,950 saving off diesel engines and £3,250 saving off petrol engines. This saving includes the £1,000 incentive from the Government.  This means you can now buy a new Golf S 1.4 80PS 3dr from £10,335 in conjunction with the government scrappage scheme. (Golf SE, GT, GTI and GTD models will continue to get the standard £2,000 scrappage scheme incentive).

Volkswagen are also offering a total of £4,250 saving off all models in the Passat range, including Saloon, Estate and CC.  This saving includes £1,000 incentive from the Government.  This means you can now buy a new Passat Saloon from £12,190 in conjunction with the government scrappage scheme.

But what about my old car?

To be eligible for this saving your old car must be scrapped under the new Government scheme. Your old car must have been registered on or before 31st August 1999 and you must have owned the car for a minimum of 1 year. The Government and Volkswagen will then contribute £1,000 each towards the price of your new Volkswagen.  The scheme will help remove older cars from our roads, replacing them with safer and more environmentally-friendly models.

Please contact your local retailer for further details of this scheme.

Government Scrappage Scheme – Full terms and conditions:

The Government Scrappage Scheme offer applies to vehicles registered to private retail customers. The scheme is available from 5th June 2009 until the Government funding expires or until 28th February 2010, whichever comes first.

The vehicle traded in must be a car or van registered on or before 31st August 1999, weighing up to 3.5 tonnes which has been registered to you continuously for 12 months before the order date of the new vehicle. You must have a UK address on the registration certificate and a current MOT test certificate and have no outstanding finance on the vehicle before the new vehicle is ordered.

The discount will be offered against new retail vehicles which are first registered in the UK on or after 5th June 2009 and declared new at first registration in the UK with no former keepers.

In this case, we are talking about buying a car in Egypt, So.. if you look into the car market in Egypt, and check car offers, you will find that you can buy different cars from different countries in the Middle East. The Mitsubishi Lancer Market in Egypt -for example- will offer you cars from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Jordan and of course the only car that has a Valid Guarantee for 100.000 Kilometers or 3 years is the Lancer made in Egypt, so the other cars that been exported from the 3 other countries will not have a Car Guarantee, means you are driving by your own.

Since yesterday and I am searching for a specific car, a friend asked me for help to find a Lancer 2009 with a Special Specifications, the most exited thing that people prefer to buy cars that comes from the gulf is the Multi-point injection fuel system that doesn’t exist in Jordanian Lancers or Egyptian ones.

OK, so lets check the Lancer with Multi-point injection fuel system, I visited around 3 car suppliers in Cairo where I meet a very nice people like Magid Amir the Auto Samir Rayyan Sales Manager who told me that this Multi-point injection fuel system is no longer exist in the Lancer 2009 that been exported from the gulf area, and this disappointed me because I want to buy this car for my friend as he don’t care about Guarantee, he just need a strong car.

This is not good but.. let’s hear the other opinions. The 2 other sales guys from the other 2 places told me that they has it and they are sure it has the Multi-point injection fuel system, and this made me so confused because who should I believe?! Who should I trust?! In Car Market you really shouldn’t trust anyone these days!! If you know any information about the Lancer Multi-point injection fuel system I will appreciate if you drop me a comment and tell me about it.

Been thinking about it, and trying to find out more about the Lancer World, I realized it’s not easy to find the truth on the internet by search engine results, this car have 100s of confusing Specifications!

Car tuning is both an industry and a hobby, in which a car is modified in order to improve its performance and handling and improve the owner’s driving style. As most cars leave the factory set up for average driver expectations and average conditions, tuning has become a way to personalize the characteristics of the vehicle to the owner’s preference. For example, cars may be altered to provide better fuel economy, produce more power at high RPM or the ride comfort may be sacrificed to provide better handling.

Car tuning is related to auto racing, although most performance cars never compete. Rather they are built for the pleasure of owning and driving such a vehicle. Another major facet of tuning includes performance modification to the car exterior. This includes changing the aerodynamic characteristics of the vehicle via side skirts, front and rear bumpers, adding spoilers, splitters, air vents and light weight wheels.

It’s clear now that this post is not about Cars! It’s about the blog itself, so I will appreciate any feedbacks when ever you come through My Golf II blog.

Should I write about Volkswagen only?

This blog was specially created for the Volkswagen Golf MK2, as I am a fan of this specific car, but I am wondering what will happen in the feature of this blog, I have some experience now with blogs, so what is the plan for this one?!

Can the MK2 bring good traffic for this blog?  Do people search enough about this classic old car?! This is what I am wondering!

Should I shift it to write about all Volkswagen cars? Should I expand my blog to contain All Germany Cars? Or open it up and make it more wider?

Should I change my blog Categories?

Maybe changing categories of the blog is a good idea, but what categories should I have? suggest some categories for me!

In this post I will give you a link to where I found lot of answers for my questions, I found answers by searching Answerbag, it’s another website using the yahoo answers way, on this section you will find it all about Golf MK2.

Well.. this was before, thanks to Loans and friendly Bank Systems in Egypt these days, now.. anyone can buy the decent car no matter he have money or not, all what you need is to do some tricks guided by the Loan Assistance Office in the bank you like to deal with, they will tell you what exactly to do to get your brand new car, which is perfectly from this way but dangerous for your life from the other way, I believe you will not be able to pay the monthly payments to make up your loan safely, or you will have to pay it and forget about another thing needs your attention even your personal needs, then you will be poor looking person trying to take care of your payments when you reach the half of each month.

I will really not like that to happen to me one day, so I preferred to have a nice small used car that I can handle better even with the great headache, trying to keep my self a way from the killing Loans.

I have 2 main reasons that makes me hate car loans, first I don’t like to pay any profits, second I don’t like to pay for long time (5 years), this is too much time.

In Middle East the whole situation is not going with the same way of Technology, I found it very hard to own a new brand car, all cars are scratched and damaged from out side, and suffering from inside, the high traffic in the streets of Egypt hurting the cars and effect the life time of car parts so badly, and you will need to change parts more faster because it will be expired in shorter time than it has to be.

Even Gas process make it worse, I was spending around 300 Egyptian money for Gas every month, but now the prices raised this amount to 400, around 75 US Dollars monthly, and all this just to reach my work everyday!

The Horrible Egyptian Traffic Laws -that I respect so much- doesn’t make since, because how come a man pay all of his salary for just one ticket immediately on the road? He have to carry $1000 or two in his wallet all the time just in case. I wonder how Government set Laws for a place that can not stand it!

Also I have to mention that all European cars doesn’t match the nature or Middle Eastern roads, the hot weather effect the efficiently of cars, however this is funny but it’s true that sometimes you will have to take some parts out of the engine to make work better

All this and much more made me change my mind about having a new brand car by giving my self extra responsibilities that could break my back, and I will do it only if I can afford the whole amount in cash.
