Hi from the Highlands
« on: April 10, 2013, 01:33:41 pm »
Afternoon all

Picked up a black 56 reg 3 door GTI with 60k seems a nice clean solid car.

Still getting used it coming from a high revving CTR.

Been browsing here for a while just thought I would say hi  :drinking:, pics to follow when I get a chance to clean it (again) its a nightmare to keep clean just now!

Thinking of making the jouney to R tech in the near future but for now im enjoying it standard. :happy2:

A bit further north,in Orkney.
I'm in Inverness regularly,usually getting my Edition 30 serviced at Hawco and enjoying some of the back roads. :driver:

I don't mind them to be honest.Expensive,but they are a main dealer,but I can't fault the customer service.
I prefer to keep a main dealer service as everything is recorded in the VW database,so if anything crops up I at least have that to fall back on.They replaced the coilpacks under the VW recall without any fuss.
