Hello there, fellow Mk5 GTI-ers
« on: January 04, 2009, 12:20:31 pm »
Hi all,

It was great to learn of the website and forum in January 2009's issue of Volkswagen Driver and as a recent convert to mk5 life I thought it was only polite to say hello.

I have a last of the line (Sept 2008), shadow blue, 5 door with a few toys and it has got me back into GTI life after 2 months without one - I sold my Mk4 1.8T in July last year after 10 years/100k miles.

I'll upload some photos when I have sussed out how to do that swirly thing with my number plate!

All the best

Duncan

Gents, many thanks indeed for the warm welcome - here's a piccie that was taken when the car was clean and the sun was out (obviously not today).

Hope you like it, looking forward to speaking and meeting up with like minded GTI enthusiasts going forward.

All the best

Duncan
