New GTI MK 5 Owner !
« on: May 16, 2013, 11:31:44 pm »
Hi

Brand new here been looking over the forums the past few days now.  I don't have pictures of the new golf yet as i have still to pick it up but expecting to get a phone call in the next few days to say its ready, really cant wait to get it lol.

So there are some picture up here I'll go through some of my car history.  Been driving nearly 5 years and this is what I've owned in this time.



Saxo was the second car I owned, before this I had a 306 1.9 turbo diesel don't have any pictures unfortunately.

After the Saxo I moved onto a MK4 astra 1.8



After I got rid of the astra i took a step down and got a 1.4 ford fiesta flame.



As I say still driving this at the moment although awaiting the phone call for the new GTi.
Its Deep blue in colour, 45k, 5dr, 18" monzas just been re-furbed, full leather, manual, FVWSH, Cam belt changed at 32k in 2010, coming fully serviced and 1 years mot.

Never driven anything this size so looking forward to it, I do alot of late finishes at work so will get to have fun on the empty roads:)

As soon as i get pictures i will pop them up.

Welcome. Sounds like a nice low miler :happy2: not too many shadow blues on the road, a lot less than black anyway. I'm a fellow newbie so looking forward to seeing some pics of yours  :party: few things better in life than picking up the keys to a new GTI  :grin:

Enjoy the ride home  :driver: I certainly did!
