New to this but here goes  taken me almost 30 years but at last I am proud owner of a 2007 Silver 3 door Manuel GTI Edition 30. Had a Mk 4 GTI  for six months before and a Seat Cupra 1.8T before but they are soon forgotten after living with my pride and joy for 2 months it is in a different class. My wife has a GTI Mk 6 DSG but to tell truth I think my car spanks it 
Am looking forward to adding toys when time and money allow for now hope this post is successful and will keep in touch 
Here is to a great 2012 of motoring.
