New Edition 30 Owner in South Yorkshire (HOPEFULLY)...
« on: October 13, 2009, 04:41:36 pm »
Hi Guys,

Just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Tom Lau, and I’m from Sheffield! Well I've been roaming around the site for a couple of weeks now so decided it was time for my first post, now I'm a breathe away from signing on the dotted line!

I currently own a BMW 3.0si Sport Roadster, having come from a Astra VXR...The change is due to me no longer willing to drive a 1.4 Ibiza or 1.2 Polo whenever I need an extra seat, cause having to drive with extra weight and 200bhp down is really no fun!!!

Well I've got a few tuning plans already for the 30 LOL! So will be looking for advise and what not from all you knowledgable lot ;)

Cheers Guys,
Tom

Another former VXR owner... :happy2:

A former member of VXROnline by any chance?! Any mods on the VXR you had?!

How do you rate the VXR to the GTi?! When I purchased my VXR originally in 2006 I acutally test drove the GTi, opted for the VXR due to the Power, and the Cost for the kit (VXR have much better interior IMO for the moment)...I'm now looking at either a VXR or a GTi, this time around the GTi wins because of the 30editon, I'd still pick a VXR over the standard GTi!!!

Hi yes registered on VXR online as well...Moschops.... :happy2:

Had a Vectra VXR 280 model, left it standard which I sold in lue of the Edition 30.  The Veccy never held my confidence as much as the Golf does, every time time it went in to the dealers they would rag it..plus the depreciation on it was like dropping a piano out the top floor of the empire state building...not good.  :signLOL:  The Golf however  :love:  Plus the VW delaer got me a good p/x on the Veccy against the Edition 30 :happy2:

I had a similar problem with my Astra, the dealers imo we're very poor in many respects, HOWEVER, due to a few things I set my heart on the VXR and TBH, I never once believed I made a bad choice, I loved the car to bits, but truth be told if the Edition 30 was out when I was in the market things may have been a tad different ;)

Must say, you Edition 30 looks nice!!!
