The end

TFW has now moved on to pastures new and and the blog will from now on become known as The Pasta Wagon.

So much for TFW being an old mans car it was bought by a young whippersnapper of just 20. Yet again i managed to get more when selling a used car than when i bought it, maybe i'm in the wrong business.
It was bought in october 2007 for kr 8500 and i managed to get rid now for kr 11 000 Admittedly i've used a bit of cash on it just keeping it going but it needed to go now as the tax is due for 2009 which costs kr 3 127 so all in all i'm content.
We'll be very sorry to see it go, it's done us proud during the time we've owned it but it was time to move on up, or down depending on your point of view. A merc to a VW i'm worried i'm getting a thing for German cars.

I converted this.......



to this....



and since my car is now really just a rolling computer i'm going to spend some of it getting one of these just so i can feel that i'm still in control of fixing my own transport and not totally at the mercy of the VW stealership.

Pushing buttons on a computer can't possibly be as much fun as wielding the spanners but got to give it a go eh?

Made the Pasta Wagon a bit more acceptable to me by ditching the plastic wheel trims. It'll soon be time to put the summer wheels on anyway but they just had to go.

Bye bye character filled easy to fix Fat Wagon; hello bland Euro Box aka The Pasta Wagon.
