New Owner #0444 Edition 30 - Cheltenham
« on: May 10, 2015, 10:28:00 am »
Hello All,
New owner of Edition 30 #0444 based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire.
Had the GTI for a month now and very pleased with it to say the least!
The Car is a '07 3dr with some choice modifications including APR stage 1+ map and the very best bit a Wavetrac LSD.

After chugging around in two diesels and one air cooled camper (hence my forum name) for 4 years it was time for something more exciting again. Originally I was after a mk5 R32 but the prices have seemed to steadily increase for no other reason I can presume apart from the season / up coming summer?? anyway test drove a few standard ed 30's but were in poor shape with missing servicing so saved for a bit longer.

In the end I decided to find one with a LSD already fitted because I wanted the same driving experience that I had in my last two Integra DC2's and fitting one is also very expensive.

I have just got the major service out the way so my plans for it will be to prepare the car for stage 2.

Members ride thread to follow with full specification and pictures.

Thanks for reading,
Mike.

jonvr6, the car was previously owned by gerbil off here I think, however the For Sale advert has been taken down now.

Hi Air Chilled

Hope you are enjoying the Edition 30?

Absolutely love Cheltenham, used to go to school there from the age of 6 up to 18, also have some great memories particularly the wine bars & pub in Montpellier. Such a fab town to live in 

All the best

Hi George,
Glad to hear you have some fond memories of Cheltenham, it's a great place which is why we decided to move here.

The Edition 30 is a very understated machine, I'm enjoying it very much!

Mike.
