Pete's Tornado Red ED30, Now For Sale

So jealous of that sunroof :drool:

Thanks for the kind comments all. The sunroof wasnt something that sold the car to me but its so nice to have it.
Had a good weekend with the car (my weekend is Sunday/Monday). Was meant to head down to Early Edition yesterday but my mate bailed on me last minute, so instead i went for a solo drive into the Peak District. In hindsight, i wish i had headed down solo to EE instead but hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Drove the Cat and Fiddle a couple of times and the car was just faultless. The mixture of the tight roads and the DSG in Manual mode was just fantastic. Thoroughly enjoying the car. Have got a couple of days off at the end of the month and i'm tempted to head away for a couple of days. Maybe head to the Lake District but open to suggestions on this? Would be travelling from the North Midlands.
Today, being Monday meant the car went into my local VW Specialist. Thermostat, Cam Chain, Tensioner and a couple of other bits sorted. They also did the oil change for me and used the Millars and filter that i had purchased. Only charged me £20 labour for this so was happy with that.
The car is definitely quieter on startup and no rattle at all. Gave it some beans on the way home and it just makes me laugh :happy2: :happy2: :happy2:
Anyway, couple of little bits will be sorted in due course and then i will be looking to save a bit of money. Then things like the alloys will be refurbished, front bumper resprayed etc.
Few photos from the trip out to the Peaks yesterday.

Really glad you're on this Peter helps me feel better about getting a 5 door and I'm sure you've made many of the 3 door owners green with envy they don't :happy2:

Cheers mate. This is my 5th car since passing in July 2015, and my first 5 door. It's just easier to get things in and out. I also think the 5 door versions with a 20/30mm drop on them look the bee's knee's. Just my opinion ofc.

A looked after and regularly polished 5 door stands out more i think because they're generally not looked after like the 3dr's are, I saw a blue r32 5 door and I was in love with it dropped on air but it was something else
