Well, I turned up to test drive the 330Ci M Sport convertible yesterday and, well, it looks lovely, sounds lovely, but boy it was slow compared to my Mk5 Stage 1!
The laser blue 3dr Mk5 GTi with sunroof, leather and sat nav just kept looking at me, as if to say, "go on, you know it makes sense!".... So I bought it! And I have to say, the huge amount of enjoyment and sense of belonging you only get from this forum was also a big factor.
Here he is...
I pick him on Friday. I need to drive him tomorrow, and check cambelt and pump done etc, as I was in a bit of a rush to get to cricket. But as long as everything is ok, I've got what I really wanted....a sunroof, and the laser blue colour looks amazing in the sunlight. Almost as good as shadow blue! And I've got leather and nav. Bonus. Well chuffed.
