Title: Pictures as promised
Post by: rsreid2000 on September 03, 2010, 04:05:26 pm
After a week of ownership I have finally got round to taking some pictures.
First my old car. MK6 RS2000 which I owned for 12 years.

Totally different cars.

The Golf is DSG, so still getting used to that, but loving it at the moment.

Hey bud, welcome!

The RS looks lovely. Not so many around at all now, just tacky reps.

Is that a ten plate MK5 or a private plate?!  :surprised:
Lovely GTI, same as mine so you'll only get compliments from this corner  :drinking: Any plans?

you cant have a private plate that makes the car look newer than it is so it must have been an un-registered MK5.......  :confused:

The car was registered in June 2010 along with a few others.
They were distributed to the dealers for sale in August.
The dealer I bought it from in London had 5. Mine had 44 miles on the clock.
Well chuffed

Wayne,

Mine was a P reg 2 Wheel Drive. Had Air Con and a sun roof which was unusual for them. Had it since it was 10 months old and sold it last year with 23,000 on the clock.
Never failed an MOT or blew a bulb. GREAT CAR.
Sold in the first day.

Similar spec to mine then, had the heated front screen and I retro fitted the factory CD player/Changer under the drivers seat. Lost 375 on part exing against an Auralis Blue Escort Cossie, the RS2 had 7k on the clock and one previous owner.

No not really. The car has Leather, iPod Prep, Cruise control, Reverse sensors & the 18" Monzas.
Loving it at the moment.
