Newbie from N Ireland with an ED30
« on: February 23, 2009, 08:39:42 pm »
Hi everyone,

This forum was recommended and is worth it alone for the Jonnyc's thread! 

Just changed from an E90 BMW to an 08 Edition 30 and I am absolutely loving it.   The better half has a Jetta 2.0 TDI Sport and I keep my toe dipped in the dark side with an MR2 Turbo (have a big soft spot for Toyota and just sold a mint Supra). 

Been doing a lot of reading in the forum over the past week and have a good idea of what I want to do to the ED30 but I will no doubt have lots questions for you all!

Thanks

Darren :happy2:

Pics tomorrow, promise.  Just heading out to football.

My photography skills are truely appalling so don't expect anything arty!  I just point and click and if they are not blurry then success!

Is it best to post pictures in this thread or in the member rides thread?

Also forgot to ask, how do you find out what actual options the car has as I'm not sure what is standard.  I know it has a winter pack, but what does that actually consist of?
