It's twins......
« on: January 24, 2015, 03:27:41 pm »
Hello I'm tom and this weekend I had twins, two new babies to mother and nurture.

Number 1 anabel 7lbs 10.5oz born 22 nd of January



Beautiful and love her to bits :jumping:

Number 2 steel grey gti collected 21st January



Forgive me not had time to wash her properly I've been doing other things.  :signLOL: Not quite as beautiful but still love her to bits. :grin:

Many mods planned for both of them. Spent a long time looking for the right car for me, had to compromise in the end but I'm happy with spec. Inside and out the car is in great condition and drives perfectly.

Hopefully starting a build thread soon to chart my progress with her. I'd like to keep everything as oem as possible. One small thing that had to be done ASAP was replace the shagged aerial.




Polo replacement. Done



Just thought I'd post you a pic of my previous motor. Loved her as well reliable old girl.



The gti certainly spools up a bit quicker.  :signLOL:

That's all for now folks.

Yeh it was a bit manic getting everything sorted. I looked at loads of different cars for a long time rx8, st, etc always kept coming back to the gti. The best of both worlds. So glad I bought it. Good luck to you matey.

Glad we got that sorted.  Now, how are the emissions?
