New From Scotland
« on: October 20, 2014, 09:04:13 pm »
Hi there, been checking this forum for the last two months as I knew that my next car would be a Mk5 Golf Gti. And well on Sunday I will be picking mine up! Mk5 Golf Gti 2.0T, 2006, 76,000 miles, full service history, full years mot, Reflex Silver. Only a first year apprentice at the moment so mods will be slow, but have lots and lots of plans! Power and looks :) but for now will just be getting use to the power, my last car was a 2004 1.25 Ford Fiesta, slammed on its hoop! 73.9 to 200bhp is a fair jump, but looking forward to it!

A fellow Ford convert... I went from a fiesta to a focus and now a Golf... Certainly an expensive hobby on an Apprentice wage, doable though  :drool:

Don't get me wrong love the fords, an RS next maybe ;) but yeah and I'm on really low apprentice wages as well, but I can make it work and still live with my parents so now is the time to do it! I'm only 19 but it's going to be some project I can assure you

Hiya!!

I'm also 19, from Scotland and recently bought a gti golf :)

My previous car was a 1.0 59bhp VW Up so I understand the jump in power... 59 to 230 is crazy!

Cheers guys, I absolutly love it! Especially since my fiesta was the finesse so was poverty spev, manual window the lot haha, but I loved her the same.
I originally wanted an ed30 but my wages are poor so couldn't afford it sadly. And I'm from a small town just outside Perth. Are there many members from Scotland? Seen a few on my travels
