hello,
Thought i'd say hi and cheer myself up.
I was going to pick the car up today but it wasn't quite ready. the dealer is waiting for some new wheel centre caps to arrive, so I have to wait until Thursday now.

here's a picture of the car 

Wanted something a bit slower than my old 03 plate RS6..... (i'll post the video up of the rolling road one day (493bhp on the day, 407 corrected at the wheels).
What actually made be think about was my wife new 60 plate 1.6 TDI Match blue motion

Hi and welcome.

What colour is that? We need more pics of it!

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

my old car rs6 on the rolling road. the last run is at around the 3.00mins mark

Badly missed but I am sure the GTi will be just as much fun.
