Hello, New ED30 member from Stockton!
« on: July 24, 2014, 11:52:59 pm »
Hello all,
had the car since Feb and never really got round to introducing myself! maybe its because I love the car so much I just don't want to get out of it lol  :driver:

Its got a few options like headlight washers, heated seats, chilled glovebox, highline computer and MFSW. A week after I got it the rear badge decided to stop working so I replaced it with a mk6 handle and had the wheels done in VW grey. :happy2:

Always kind of been a big VW fan however I have a soft spot for the older French hot hatches as well, in the space of my 7 years driving I have had a mk1 GTi, Mk3 VR6, MK4 20Vt, MK4 PD130 and now the Edition 30 along with a few Clio sports and 205 Gti. My last car was a 197 F1 Edition, a brilliant car but it only lasted 6 month before I wanted to be back in something that did not feel like it was been shook to death at 70 Mph haha. the French cars are ok for a bit but I did get a bit fed up of them constantly needing a repair!

Got some plans for the Golf in the next few months, certainly wanting to upgrade the radio but I'm unsure if I want to go for RCD/RNS or go aftermarket like a Pioneer or Kenwood Dnx? Also want to visit R-Tech for a remap as I think it would be awesome once its done.

Here are a few pics I've took with the iPhone (I hope they work, never done this before)






It looks abit pink in the last photo i'm not sure why?

Anyway hope you all approve and if any of you see me floating about give me a wave so I know who to look out for although there isn't many others around here :(

It's because you're a raging homosexual. Well you do say that you 'float about'... :wink:

Absolutely! first thing I really need to do is get the bonnet sprayed, its covered in stone chips but the main things I really want to do is a cat back milltek, cai and a Remap along with a new radio, really miss the Bluetooth I used to have.
