....in a MKV! Well not strictly speaking, but my wife is. After I sold the 335 and brought the Porsche, my wife has been using a multitude of cars from work to see what she likes.
Well, as some of you know I've had 3 MKV's, all the cooking models - ED30, GTI and R32, all DSG, and my wife loved all of them. As I now have the sports car in the house hold, and all she does is run the kids around, approx 400 miles a month, I thought a nice diesel GT Sport would be perfect. Today I have purchased a 2008/58, 2 owner, tornado red (my first ever red car!), 140 DSG 5 door with the leather pack. It has covered an incredible 72000 miles, but has FVWSH, and I got it for under £10k! Mileage is irrelevant as she hardly does any. I'm looking forward to coming back to the VW fold.

Car has had the front end blown over due to stone chips, and apart from 3 lightly marked alloys is in excellent condition, so I'm told. Picking it up Thursday.
And here is a picture of what I replaced my 335 with (in full wedding gear for a mates wedding at the weekend). It's a 2006 C2S manual;

I forgot to mention what mods I'll be carrying out.......NONE! Bar a weekly valet!
The Porsche is having the Sports Exhaust conversion done next week, which is called a gundo hack(google it), it's basically a non switchable sport exhaust modification to a standard exhaust! Sounds the Mutsuhito, as mine is too quiet.

Something like this....

....Yep, still got mine and have done much less mileage this year. Will be 6yo in July and I'm planning to keep it. I still need everything it provides and I'm satisfied with the performance - I still enjoy every mile so why spend zillions on a RS3? :happy2:

How many miles now RR?

997 looks immense Oli :happy2:
Is that your F10 5 series too?!
Like a German fleet at your place it seems :grin:

Thank you.
I had the 520d on demo. Amazing car and I will get one at some point.

How many miles now RR?
....Just over 93k miles but I've only done 3k miles in the last 5 months. I plan to keep her as she still ticks all the boxes for what I need from a car. :happy2:
