Yayyyyyyy!

Both are definite milestones Robin. When do you go in for a full service and tweaking then? :wink:


....Regarding my human self, it's more a case of if it works don't mend it. Only female mechanics are allowed to work on me though.

Congratulations Robin  :congrats:

It's nothing to get hung up on these days with our cars even less so with how much we look after them and renew / service parts!

One of the best modified MkV's for its purpose of giving smiles per gallon!  Certainly wasnt looking that tired the other day.

Had JKM turned the boost back up already or was that a genuine direct benifit of the HPFP?

I remember chatting with RR about how long he'd keep the car. This was when we were on the other forum. We were both impressed with our cars and I recall said he'd keep it to at least 100k. Glad to see you've enjoyed the last 100k and here's to the next 100  :drinking:

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

What a great partnership you and your GTI have formed Robin!  :happy2:

Both seem to fit each others personality 100%!

....That's made me laugh  :laugh:  :happy2:. I'm not sure how to interpret that though!

I have heard said that a car reflects something about the owner.  :drinking:

At 40k mate. Lovin' every minute. Paintwork needs a bit of TLC but otherwise sound. Heading to AKS for a midcycle oil change and checkup.
