Hello from a new GT TDI owner
« on: July 19, 2012, 10:24:32 am »
Hi everyone,

My names Dan, from Manchester.
I have recently purchased an 04 GT TDI to replace my dead Mazda (engine blew). I couldn't be more impressed with the car. Feels great to drive, pulls well, the paint is immaculate and I'm saving ridiculous money on fuel.
I've seen some great cars on here and after looking through many threads I've picked up a couple of modification ideas, but feel free to hit me with your suggestions!



Look forward to getting to know you guys!
