Picked up my edition 30 !
« on: July 06, 2011, 09:03:47 pm »
Picked up my edition 30 today and it seems it has a better spec than i first thought ! thought it was poverty spec, but it seems that the reverse sensors, highline, bluetooth, Ipod connect and MFSW buttons are extras so thats a bit of a bonus !
Anyway i have been driving 10 hours today through some of the sh1ttest weather Ever !! i was aquaplaneing all over the shop then the tyre deflation light illuminated, so i ended up at the side of the dual carrige way in the pi55ing rain filling up the tyres with air from a 1 watt compressor absolutely soaked, jumped back in the golf and chucked the heated seats on.......Sooooo Nice !  :drool: about 20 minutes later was about to over take a quarry truck and got smashed to pieces with
large stones from the trucks trailer the car is covered in stone chips now  and even a couple as far back as the fuel tank ! :mad:
Anyway apart from the journey im really happy with the new Car, feels very tight and im quite surprised at how nippy it is
A couple of pics




And they will join My Mk 2 Which is in bits at the moment

Cant believe you sold them! Brakes are dangerous at speed!!!! S3 is moving along slowly, bsh woa manifold, rs4 injectors, 0.63 zaust housing, tial 38mm wastegate ready, other little bits and bobs are not a problem....but the 76r turbo and pistons/rods are rediculous money!! Doing a bit of saving for them right now might take a while. Stevie.
