PJC430:
Hello everybody!

Just picked up my new GTI so thought I would find some time to introduce myself.

My name is Pete, I live in the centre of Birmingham and work in Gaydon (in Warwickshire for those of you who were unsure). A fairly lengthy commute so its fair to say I might very soon be on first name terms with the blokes in my local fuel station.

I have just bought a 2007 Silver 5 Door Golf GTI having spent about 3 months searching the big WWW for a new car after the head gasket on my MG ZR (*Rover*) decided to go all ....Roverish.

So after looking at Civic Type Rs, Focus STs, Mini Cooper S works and even a few MK4 R32s I finally settled on the MKV GTI... a decision aided by the fact that my cousin manages a car dealership and just happened to take one in PX. If I am completely honest I would have rather have had a 3 door and there were a few colours higher on my preference list than silver...however after picking up and driving away in my latest financial commitment I have very quickly fallen in love.

I will post some pictures up as soon as I get around to setting up a photobucket account. Very much looking forward to conversing with you lovely lovely people, learning stuff and things and perhaps (in the distant future) offering some info myself.

Kind Regards to you all!

Pete (PJC430)

Welcome Pete.

I think you'll find the car quite addictive and any concerns over number of doors will slip away.  :evilgrin:

Andy:
welcome :happy2:

StuF:
Welcome mate - great colour choice too, any mods on your motor yet?
This forum is an excellent resource, but crikey can it get expensive!

I must have passed that place around 150 times over the last four years and it still makes me chuckle! :grin: Juvenile I know!
