hey all..

after nearly a year of ownership, here is some detail on my 3rd mk5 gti
(should have joined up ages ago!!)

my first was an 05 red, 5 door, cloth manual:

this was added to the red fleet  :laugh:

I still have the mk1, but the mk2 is now unfortunately gone....  :confused:

then this happened to the 1st mk5 when someone pulled out straight into the side of me  :doh:

so it was replaced with this one instead....

shadow blue, leather, stupid loads of history  :smiley:

but, for me, a gti has to be red, and with cloth - so i was on the lookout for a mk6, or maybe an edition 30.
mk6 was hard to get in the spec i wanted, and it took a while to find a stock edition, but i found this last year  :happy2: edition 30 no 952.

Not a lot has happened to it, a bit of this:

some early morning school runs (it is a daily ride)

and also fitted the kenwood dvd nav touch headunit from the blue one

apart from that - all standard still just maintenance and  :driver: for now.


oh, and for anyone that likes mk1's

Looks good, like you I have an Edition 30 and a mk1 but they don't match.
