you acquired a new car their beezer? or have i been a sleep and missed it in members section

Ah, yes, didn't bother posting up as I didn't think anyone'd be interested!
Remember I was asking you about the pro's and cons of the Scirocco back along? Well I went and got a mk6 Golf instead!
The mk5 needed a bit of routine work doing on it which when added up was a few Â£Â£Â£Â£ added to which I wanted to re-remap it as the one I had was a bit flat (my own fault as that's what I asked for!!!) so I bit the bullet.
Didn't want a new one as I don't use the car much and it would take me 6 months to run it in, added to the 3-6 months waiting list I'd be no further on this time next year! And I didn't want to pay a fortune for an ex-demo with loads of extras which I didn't really want so I scoured the country for a bog standard GTI which I could add stuff to as I went along when finances or forum/ebay bargains cropped up.
So, there we have it. It's still sat on the standard 17s at the moment so not very photogenic, am waiting for pay day so I can shove a pair of tyres onto my BBSs sat in the garage and get them on the car. Then it'll be worth a few photos!

I was going to shove a post up here somewhere but I thought a standard car on 17s would be a bit of a damp squib after everyone clamoured for photos!

What could mate or did I miss that bit? Comon a sneaky photo is a must. Sorry for ot chat

Okay, I'll whizz a photo off at the weekend and do a thread in the general chat section.

Better get this back on topic.

Okay ladies and gents, if we could start a list of forum name, first name so we can keep it friendly and type of car running and I'll update Ben on SCN regularly so we can keep it orderly and peeps who need early runs or want late runs can get their preferred slot.

User Name Real Name Car type Additional column for ''maybe'' or ''confirmed''

1.
2.
3.
4.

Would be good to see a few spectators too so we can have a bit of a South West meet and have a genral nose around TSR
