So I've been busy giving the old Git a deep clean, wash, tardis, ironx, clay, light polish and then sealed it up - quite pleased with how it turned out

Did you have a mk5 golf before?
Just wondered if you thought the build quality was better.

Yeah had a Mk5 GTi, of course it feels better, but then its a nearly new car (6000) miles - it really does feel a step up in quality, very impressed with the adjustable suspension, sharp steering, DSG (which i didn't have before) the quiteness and all the toys that are included.

Yeah pp, it just digs in on the bends & pulls you around with no drama, big brakes are nice as well

Ha ha ditto, i'm as envious of the driveway as i am of the car  :signLOL: I'd love a house with a driveway but that's the price you pay for living in the ol' smoke...
