Excellent mate. Great to see you in a MK5. I kept having to dissuade myself from snooping around your place to work out what you had bought!

I understand the DSG appeal and having driven a DSG (not a GTI though) can see the pros of it. But the questions I have are: why silver, and if your old car was offered back, would you have bought it?

Hopefully will get to see the car in the flesh next weekend.  :party:

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Thanks all!  :happy2:

Very nice mate and DSG too. So you and Mark have a matching pair.  :love:  :happy2:

Yes, twins are reunited!  :love:

Very nice mate - you need some Deeetroits on it though!

Did you ever consider a Rocco?

Thanks matey, no not really. Would only really have an .:R and a little out of my price range. Plus they aren't ideal for mobile detailing!  :laugh:

Very nice, rare and exclusive

does mean you have to buy pirelli tyres from now on :grin:

Funny you should say that, the dealer has just put 4 x spanking new Goodyears on!  :sad1: So will have to get them changed at some point as it will clash with my OCD tendencies!  :grin:

What's the spec, Nath  :happy2:

Pretty standard for now, only iPod dock and cruise as options but MF buttons and high line will be fitted along with an RNS at some point!  :happy2:

Thanks Jaz!  :happy2:

To be honest after having had the Eddy for three years I wanted it to be different, another reason why I went for the DSG. And Silver is the future Jaz, didn't anyone tell you?  :laugh:

And yes, I'd have the old girl back in a heart beat!  :love: She is being cherished just as much by Andy these days so I have had to let go!  :laugh:

I hate silver for two reasons: boring/plain, and look the same whether dirty or clean.

Pity you can't diamond-cut those alloys!  :laugh:

Well thats part of the attraction Stealth as I like my car to look clean even when it isn't!  :pomppomp:

Not sure what to do with the alloys so they will stay as is for now!  :wink:

Looks very nice, I thought it would be a Pirelli when I was reading through your 'wanted' thread... :happy2:

It's just 'versatile' and ideal for people like me who doesn't like cleaning cars that much! :grin:

Nousey is a detailer. I'd have thought a white/black/red/blue car would have shown his skills off.

No xenons? What extras did it come with? Or was it pov spec? Am sure it won't be standard much longer.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
