New member.. with a TDI, errrr..
« on: April 03, 2013, 09:59:58 am »
Hi all...
Originally signed up to view the classifieds (hey at least I'm honest) and just branch out a little from uk-mkivs... But might as well post up..
So hi, I'm Jay, I have a Reflex silver Mk5 1.9 TDI SE, which I've owned for over 2 years now and nearly 60,000 miles and sunk over £15k into the car over the years. After doing a lot of research to find the right car at the right price... The wait paid off and I ended up with this one.. which I have named "Bobrick".

It was completely standard when I bought it, and while it looks fairly OEM still, which is what I wanted, to the enthusiast...  :wink:

Before I am shunned for having a diesel, it has 221bhp and 365lb ft of torque.  :driver:

I am from Newbury in Berkshire, but don't be surprised if you see me anywhere in the country as I get around a bit.. I also attend most VW shows throughout the year.

I guess I will get a thread made up over in Members rides at some point.
