Hello from South Lincs.
« on: March 27, 2009, 01:32:27 pm »
Hi all

I was directed here by the Mad, Modding, Music Master known as RedRobin. :P
I’ve been frequenting Tyresmoke since Robin and I both got our Red GTi’s in the same month back in 05. I’ve since gone through an Alfa 159 and a couple of bangers and am now the proud owner of a Candy White with DSG. I missed the fantastic transmission so much, the Alfa lasted just 4 months ( thanks Clarkson ).  :ashamed:
I love my GTi and apart from a MK6, can’t think of anything that I would like to replace it with, even exotics costing double or more.

As you can see from my sig, I’m a long standing VW nut, from my first Scirocco back in 84, through 10 other Golf’s including an R32 to the present day. Will get a few pics up soon.  :smiley:

Ok... here ya go. Unfortunately the Croc croaked  a horrible death about 6 months after these were taken and the Mk1 was stolen.  :sad:

Wehey!! Glad you decided to join. This is a vibrant GTI site and with lots of resources.

And fatal if you have even the slightest inclination towards modding. In fact you are in the small start hut at the top of the mountain for the slippery slope, and it's all downhill.

WARNING - images of car demise ahead  :surprised:









This is how the rocco ended its days ...
















My Girlfriend ( now wife ) was very nearly killed. The fireman that cut her out said its just as well the door lock held or she would have been dead. A guy came around a blind bend on the wrong side of the road and straight into her. His Cortina can be seen in the first image as it was towed to the same garage.
