Hello from the north
« on: July 22, 2011, 01:27:21 pm »
Hey everyone.

Been aware of the site for a while but just got around to signing up!

I'm David and live in County Durham, originally from Falkirk. I've got a 55 Golf 2.0 TDI in pearl blue.

I think I fell out of love with my car for a while, and toyed with the idea of moving on. It doesn't help that it recently got keyed by a little vandal (as well as my wife's car & 28 neighbours!), and to use an old scottish phrase, left me a bit scunnered!

Anyway, I recognise a few names from the uk-mkiv's site & I'm a fan of retrofit's so I hope you guys don't give me too much of a push to do more..!

Cheers

Hey Andy

Cheers!
Well so far this year I've had a 2ft deep scratch on the bonnet (above), a 4"x3" graze on rear bumper when it snowed, and 3 dents in the tailgate from ASDA at metro so I'm getting used to others abusing it by now!

How's your clocks doing?

Good stuff, Andy. Highline clocks are my favourite mod for some reason! Your car's looking very nice. I've always been interested in the adapter let me know how it goes if you get one.

Hey Dan, me too! Are you the lad with the green Golf or have I mixed you up with someone else?

Hey Eddie

Yeh, I've not been on the forums for a while but noticed the mk5 section over there had become a bit sparse with posts!
