Hi guys, thought it was about time I uploaded some pictures of my car.
This is the fifth Golf I have owned, the first being a MK3 1.9TDi. I then moved on to a MK2 1.8 Driver, then momentarily had a 1.3 MK1 before getting a MK4 1.6 SE. I eventually got to the point where I could insure something a bit quicker and bought a E46 BMW 325Ci. I really loved the BMW and I have very fond memories of journeys made in it. It was surprisingly practical too, however it was an automatic, and I really grew to dislike the 'box. It was unresponsive and never changed when I wanted it to change. As a consequence it made the car feel heavy and slow in most situations. The BMWs life was ended abruptly when my wife put it into the central reservation of the M62 one evening, and the search for a new car began!
With ideas of children on the horizon we decided that a 5dr car was the sensible option. I still liked the idea of a BMW but money-wise they didn't make sense, so I turned my attention to a Golf. I test drove a 3dr at Richard Alexander in Huddersfield and I was hooked. From that day on I spent most days searching for the right GTi. It had to be a manual 5dr and it had to be black! Whilst refreshing the VW Used website a car popped up at Lookers Burnley and I booked a test drive first thing the next morning. I was the first to look at it and bought it right there, disappointing the three people who were waiting in the showroom to give it the once over
So, here it is! The only changes I have made are the wheels (courtesy of Nathan), the open fog grilles, 10mm spacers on the back and a few interior modifications. Got plenty of stuff planned for the New Year though
Hope you like it!
