I notice your GTI has a K06 turbo. The rest of us mortals haven't got beyond K04 yet  :evilgrin:

Looks like you've got Recaro's - Leather or cloth? (I'm not jealous........much!)

:happy2:

That K06 Turbo is bloody Huge Robin  :wink:

Here's my seats, its the only pic I have. Great to think I didn't even realise it had them until I went to buy the car.
I put a deposit of £200 down on the car within 2 hours of it apearing on Autotrader. I then had to buy a car to get down to Surrey as I'd sold the Alfa. I had the Mk3 that you see here in my sig for precisely 23 hours before trading it in.  :surprised:

Baastud! For posting that cloth Recaro pic! I think I just 'touched cloth'.

I missed the chance to buy some secondhand and was put off by the cost of the fixing rails etc.

I assume that no airbags doesn't worry you in spite of your tragic accident. I can see the logic that if something is going to happen it'll do so regardless.

The whole "Recaro" thing has been a series of surprises. The car was advertised with the usual interior "dashboard" picture where you could just see the edges of the seat fronts so I had no idea until I viewed the car that it had em.
I'd been looking for weeks for a good Candy White 3 door and  was so taken with the condition of the GTi that I didn't even give the lack of bags a thought until about 2 weeks into ownership. I guess the prospect of an unprotected side impact has crossed my mind but like you say, if its gonna happen, it'll happen. I could probably be persuaded to swap for an ED30 set if anyone is interested :drool:

With regard to Santa Pod? Gotta be honest, Iv'e been out of the loop so long with the GTi community that I knew nothing about it until I read about it here yesterday. Worst thing is, I have arrangements to see my parents for the day tomorrow and they live about 9 miles from the Pod  :rolleye: Its an all day anniversary affair so no chance of escape  :sad: Have a good day and don't get too wet  :P.......  Oh and Robin...... STAY AWAY FROM THE MODDING STANDS !  :jumping: Like thats gonna happen :rolleye:

....I know we are a bit off topic but that pic absolutely captures what we love about femininity. Although it's a still photo you just know how she's moving - I could write an essay! But I better get on with my half finished Review on brain remapping. Trouble is that my brain got distracted by this pic.

See ya tomoro - Safe Journey :happy2:
