Title: Hello and thanks
Post by: jh4610 on April 29, 2011, 06:49:54 am

Hello everyone

I have just purchased an 06 GTI and would like to say thanks to all the information that I got from this site, it was very useful.

The car is excellent and it manages to bring a smile to my face every time I drive it, more so as I came from a 1.25 fiesta.

The one thing that needs doing is the wheels unfortunately. I have had a look around the site and it seems that lepsons are the way to go as I live in Kent (A1 is a bit far away) or are there any other places that I should consider.

Thanks again

Jamie

I know that feeling! I came from a mk4 1.25-zetec. Nippy around town but struggled at motorway overtaking.  :grin:
I found it very easy to go fast without realising because the noise insulation was so good!  :laugh:

Yeah the ease with which you can get up to 80 is far too easy stealthwolf.

Was a little sad to see the fiesta go though when I sold it as it was my first car. Just as well I have the golf. :grin:

My lil sis has my old fiesta. The paintwork was good when I gave it to her. She's sporting lots of scratches on the front bumper.  :grin:
