Afternoon all, I'm Callum, I'm based in the Forest of dean in Glos.
I've had loads of dubs over the years includings various GTI's, VR's, R32's and so on etc...
Recently sold my Mk7 Polo GTI show car due to pending house purchase and wanting to free some funds!
So I now have an 04' Plate Mk5 Golf 1.9 TDI in black, engine wise is totally standard, but has full GTI kit fitted including leather interior etc and late R32 alloys fitted. It is standard apart from some coilies fitted and it's running pretty low.
Will try and get some pics up shortly... Have a few minor plans for it, but nothing too special as I intend to use it as a motorway slogger for work!
Nice to meet you all and forum seems pretty good so far!
Regards
Callum

I am good mate. Sold the fabia in August, had a 300 horse Octavia for a few months which i got with a gubbed geabrox, fixed it, ran it for a few months and sold it on for more. Got a mk5 R32 now, think its running the private plate you had on your mk4 actually, sure i saw it on a post on the r32oc. Tidy wee polo you built aswell, saw it advertised. Will be interesting to see what you do to the mk5! :happy2:

That's pretty mad about the number plate! It was actually on my sisters 911, I just sold it for her!!
Think I saw your Octy this year at Ginters? Was it black as well?
Yeah the Polo was a beast, was sad to see it go, but should have some fun with the Mk5! It won't break any speed records but hopefully get it looking quite cool!

Welcome fella :drinking:
Anymore pics of the Polo? Looks a tasty one.
Look forward to seeing the Mk5 :happy2:

That is weird. Its a good plate, always get asked who Kev is though! :grin: Yea the octavia was black aswell mate, lowered and on black pro race 1.2's/ All the work was done to it when i bought it apart from the fixed gearbox, a cupra slitter, wound down the coils and a major clean up, like seriously major. Spent over a week machining the paintwork and flatting out scratches :rolleye: Was good fun though and doubled my money on it. That white mk2 VR you sold looked a cracker to. Inters again this year?

Yeah I always said to my sis when you sell the Porsche I sell the plate for you! Means she made an extra £400 when she sold the car!
I'm sure I saw the Octy at the Gtinters looked good then! It's nice when you buy a car do some minor work then sell on at a profit! Hence why I've had so many dubs!! :grin: Yeah defo at Gtiners again next year, always try and make it!
I really shouldn't of sold that MK2 was such a mint shell and proper conversion, but I lost my garage for it and couldn't let it just sit out on the road, wish I hadn't sold it :( Prob get another one day!!
Hopefully have some fun with the Mk5!
