DOs and DON'Ts WHEN BUYING Mark5GTI
« on: July 03, 2014, 10:52:34 am »
Ok people, I have been on here only a little while and I have benefited from a wealth of knowledge of fellow members however its usually medicine after death so I thought I'd start this to help people about to buy MK5 GTIs.

You need to Post both a Do and Don't.

I will start:
Do - Always do an HPI check on the car.
Dn't - If the AC doesn't work, DON'T buy like that, they will probably say its gas. Tell them to get it gassed up and you will come back for it. Then you find out for sure

My 10 Do's and Don'ts for a happy mk5 life!......

1, Do  hand over your wallet and all Credit Card details at the mk5golfgti.co.uk door when joining the site.

2, Don't  join this site unless your willing to adhere to point 1

3, Do remove your own gonads (precautionary measure, see point 4)

4, Don't FFS let SHMBO know the true extent of your spending otherwise she'll cut your nuts off with a rusty knife (preempt this with point 3 and/or point 2).

5, Do lie to SHMBO, family and friends about your weekends spent in carparks meeting with other men on what you call a "meet"........they won't believe you and if your very lucky they'll think your just dogging.

6, Don't pay attention to your neighbours as they say "your not washing your car AGAIN" as you wash your car....................again.

7, Do jump on any and all bandwagons when a Group Buy comes up even though you've no real idea what the item is or how it works.

8, Don't get caught up in a "I've more Bhp than you" willy waving competition unless you've checked their build thread beforehand to make sure you really do have more bhp than them.

9, Do drive past pedestrians while releasing a nice big Whooosh dissssssh from your CAI as deep down it puts a cheesy grin on your face.

10, and Don't ever EVER say " I'll be happy at Stage 1, that's enough for me!!"  :laugh:
