Good things come to those that wait
« on: March 04, 2014, 07:23:39 pm »
So many moons ago I was in my 20's and back in the day the car of the day was 16v 3 door mk2 (PXI 2333). Our Son was born and after some 6 months we had to get rid as it was a right pain to get him in & out, so the valver went for a family car. Roll forward some 19 years and our boy is at University and the time has come to pass on the A6. I drop hints at a GTI which is received quite well and the hunt is on. I also looked at GT sports and found a couple to look at. My son & I set off to go and have a look but the GT had been sold and this left the GTI. As soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it, so a price was negotiated and cash changed hands. I picked it up on Christmas Eve with my "boy" sat beside me it was a real family moment for us. I haven't stopped grinning since and absolutely love it. One owner, FSH in the blue I wanted (oh and a 5 door!). Apologies for the crappy photo but it feels like the first day without rain :star:.



My wife says it's a mid life crisis, but so what........ :P

Looks very nice, especially in that blue - not a very common colour I don't think?

Nice one, she's looks like a beauty!  :drinking:

Now get that puppy slammed, rolling on 19"s with a sub in the boot and your 19 year old son will think your a legend!  :evilgrin:
