First time VW owner
« on: January 25, 2013, 09:13:53 pm »
Hi, guys, my name is Ross and i'm 21. Just thought i'd introduce myself to everybody.

Yesterday I bought my first VW and my first fast car. Its a 2008 golf edition 30 in red. I'm moving from a 2008 120d m sport coupe and looking forward to some powerrr! Get it on wednesday so the wait if killing me ha ha....

Got a couple of questions i'd like to ask, but i'll keep them for the specific sections.

Cheers, Ross :)

I've just turned 21 a few weeks ago. My insurance is reasonable at around 1k. That is the lowest my insurance has ever been, and about 100 quid dearer than my bm would have cost me. I've not got any no claims discount either and have 2 sp30s. I probably sound like a total chav ha ha!

Yeah, it's not the worst. I think the new regs that came in about male and female being treated equally has helped

I think that would be really unfair to do that. Maybe insurance co.s are being decent for a change ha ha

just keep taping what you want to quote on

I pressed reply then used 'insert quote' from the recent replies.

Will get pics once i've got it lol.

Also, i don't like the wheels. It's got black monza style ones with diamond cut rim. I think they were popular in europe looking at the pics on google. Would much prefer the standard pescara ones :(

Welcome mate.  Has insurance gone down ?  I paid that in early nineties for a MK1 Astra GTE.

You'll love the car.  Enjoy it
