Hi all
Just a quick introduction. My name is Rich and as the title suggests I have made the jump from JAP to DUB.

Had the Type R 10 years from new and loved every second, but always felt like something was missing. Then my friend
@jayha11 purchased a MK5GTI and that peaked my interest. So I went with him to Ultimate DUBS and that what is, I needed a GTI in my life. So much to the wife's annoyance every night was spent searching the WEB for a decent example for the money I wanted to spend, this proved harder than I first thought. I love the look of the R32, but not the fuel bill that comes with it. So then came Early Edition 38 and I was still a tourist thinking I would never find a car. When I got back I hit the WEB hard that week and there it was a MK5GTI Edition 30 in Tornado Red!!!

So a phone call later a test drive was arranged and off I went the next day. Needless to say I knew I was probably going to buy it on the journey down. Then I saw it and was sure I would buy it. After a good inspection of the car, log book (full service history) etc it was time to get behind the wheel. Well that was it - HOOKED - a little haggling later and she was mine

So been snooping around the forum for a while and finally thought it was time to say hello. I have had the car about three weeks now and I know I made the right choice. The wife is finally happy the search has ended, especially as she now has the Type R (Which means I can still drive it

) I have done a few little Mods this weekend pics to follow and lots more in mind (slippery Slope) so finally I look forward to being part of a great forum and community with lots of knowledge and experience thanks for reading guys
