Hi guys,

So, hopefully this week I will pick up the keys to a new (to me) Edition 30.

New to MK5's, but not new to VAG's in general.  Currently have a SEAT Alhambra 2.0 TDI for family duties.  My past VAG cars include mk2 GTI 16v, a few mk4 1.8T's, mk4 V6 4 Motion, Passat 1.9 TDI, A3 2.0 TDI, a couple A4 Avant TDI's (one 143 auto and one 177 Black Edition Quattro), and a A4 S4 (B6).

Had a few other motors too, including a couple Range Rovers (currently have one) and been on a BMW tip most recently with a 335d Touring (LCI e91) followed by my current 530d Touring (LCI F11) (and a 330i in between).

Anyway, car history out the way, and a raft of diesels, it's time for something a little more fun.

Went to see an ED30 last week, put in an offer, was accepted.  Just waiting on the log book coming back, since the motor had a private plate on it.  So hopefully in the next couple days I'll manage to pick it up.

So been looking about the site for inspiration.  Now, usually I'd be all about the power.  And, on top of that, the potential of the ED30 is soooo huge, I'm surprised I don't already have it booked in for a remap, lol.

Anyway, will keep looking around.  Probably sort the handling (ARB's and bushes) and brakes before going for any power.

But gotta get the car first, lol.

Picked her up last night.

Got to wait for the rain to stop, so I can get some of my own pics.  But here is one from the for sale ad anyway...



Lovely...

Nice. It looks like a nice spec. Time to enjoy  :pomppomp:

xs2man:
Yeah, spec wise it is pretty decent...

MFD2 Sat nav head unit
Xenon self levelling headlights
Headlight washers
Auto lights
Auto wipers
Come home lights (Think that's what its called), headlights come on when opened in dark & stay on when locked in dark
ipod dock under centre console
Half leather seats with heated fronts
Cruise control
Folding mirrors with puddle lights
Auto dim rear view mirror
Tyre pressure monitoring system
Rear parking sensors
Parrot hands free phone kit
H&R 30mm lowering springs
APR Carbonio induction kit
Miltek st/st cat back exhaust (Resonated, not loud just a nice note)
Tinted rear windows

Have plans, but will just enjoy it for now as it sits.  Keep looking at decent mods though.

Although I'll have to get rid of some motors first.  That's 4 cars and a caravan sitting in my drive just now.  Too much.
