Do it Beddie!

Ive had a golf on and off (mainly on) for over 10 years and not having one is slightly strange, but its that good you forgive yourself.

I was chatting about this with mortygttdi and mattposs on Saturday, you would need a reason not to do a golf over a rocco and invariably thats going to be 5 doors.

I know thats a bit of a leap on a golf forum but without sounding like a c0ck cos ive just bought one but dont knock it till you tried it. Besides Id have given another £2k for the same spec golf......Highline,  privacy glass, rain sensor, auto headlights, RCD510, 8" wide wheels instead of those bloody 7J rims disguised as 7.5J. No lumbar support though funnily enough but arguably better resale values which are important to me but not to others.

Its on a 2 year deal so might look at getting back into a golf then

Looking good Dave.  :pomppomp:

Stop fannying about and get some decent brakes on it.  :stupid: You not having decent brakes on is the  equivalent of a estate agent living next to the north circular in a first floor bed sit.  :signLOL:

More or less the reason why i chose a Roco over a mk6 GTi :happy2:

Car looks ace fella cant wait to see the new pics :popcornsoda:

Could you PM me the details of the guy you had the LED side lights from as i would be interested in a set for myself.
How do you find the indicators work i imagine these are LED's too what is the colour match like?

Very interested in how you fit the reverse parking sensor also as if posible that is one mod im going to do to mine :party:

Love the new Roc Dave.
I've got two teenage kids and need every inch of space in the back but it was a close thing between getting a Golf and Rocco.
Plumped for the 5 door GTI in the end but only 'cos I got a cracking deal on a demo car. Still half wish I'd got a Rocco.

Golfs a great Car mate. I was sort of right time right place with this thing otherwise I'd be in a 5dr Mk6 myself.

It was the automotive equivalent of a puppy picking you as opposed to the other way round....speaking to a finance company owning mate of mine.....

Me: "My cars knacked - whats it worth in Glass's Guide"

Mate: "Roughly what you paid for it 18 months ago"

Me: "Really ......... ok good news - you got any Mk6 Golfs coming?"

Mate: "No all gone  - Ordered some Sciroccos last October due soon"

Me: "What Colours?"

Mate: "Just the one left bud - problem is its white....."

Me: "Reeeaaaally"    :pomppomp: :pomppomp: :pomppomp:
