Hello all + new photos
« on: August 04, 2010, 11:12:58 pm »


I think I'm long overdue introducing myself having been lurking on this fantastic forum for a few months now.    
I'm J.J. and live in sunny Solihull.  I've been loving Mk5 GTi ownership since the end of last year when I took the plunge and bought this baby.  My only regret is not discovering this forum before I bought the car as I've learnt so much since.  Only now do I realise I've got a bit of a poverty spec car but a retro-fitted RNS510 courtesy of mortygttdi has taken the edge off that a bit!  
I'm not new to VWs having previously owned an utterly reliable but not very exciting Mk4 1.9 TDi S and prior to that I had a late Mk2 GTi 16v in Oak Green with big bumpers and all that which I owned for 10 years and took me on some great trips round the 'Ring and to the south of France and beyond.  I look forward to getting involved and sharing the enjoyment of Mk5 GTi and other VAG car ownership with you.  Cheers for now.

Hi and welcome.

I'm not too far - live in Brum, though not too far from Solihull.

More pics please!

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

As promised, here's a few more photos.  I didn't think I'd enjoy owning a car as much as I do one of these.
Looking forward to having a look at some more pride and joys at Tatton Park tomorrow  :happy2:
