I've been a member of this forum for nearly 11 years and never has a thread in members rides  :ashamed:!

I joined originally in 2011 when i was selling my Mk4 R32 and looking for a mk5 pirelli gti which never happened !

To cut a long story short after quite afew different Vw and audis and an impreza turbo i've finally got a mk5 GTi  :smiley:

Had it just over a week now and love it sure it will make a great daily, wasnt looking to spend alot my budget was 3k so was looking at 05/06 models with over 100k miles, went to london from sheffield to look at a black 3 door that was supposed to be really good condition but when i got there was far from it so walked away then called to view this Tornado red one in worksop on the way back looked decent condition full service history ect so ended up taking it home  :happy2:


Details..........

2005 '05 plate
Tornado Red 5 Door
Manual
126k full service history

The drive is now completely Volkswagen !

T5.1 Caravelle is the family bus and the Mk2 Gti 16v is the long term keeper  :grin:

Looks in really good condition - Tornado red is such a legendary colour.
Leather looks really good too - no evident drivers bolster wear.
Any plans?

Yeh it seems to have been well looked after, i think its had some paint in its life as the wings are not original but on the whole looks good for a 16 year old car, leather is really good  :happy2:

No plans for it as yet just keep it maintained and upgrade things as i go, it needs some new centre caps and wheel bolt covers for a start and will be doing the cam follower myself as i dont know if thats been done.

Will update the thread as i go, always enjoy reading other peoples threads and seeing what they have done to their cars  :smiley:

JoshB:
Wings will have probably been replaced due to rust.

Looks pretty decent on the pics, it’s surprising for how little money mk5’s can be picked up for if you shop around. I’m pretty sure a mate of mine at work went to look at that same black one in London! Told me the same story!

Looks a good buy  :happy2:
