Title: New member - South Wales
Post by: Ellis on August 09, 2011, 11:37:04 am

Morning all.

My names Ellis. I'm 22 years old and live in a small town called Abergavenny, about 35mins from Cardiff in South Wales. I've had a few previous cars but my most recognisable has to be my 'euro' style Fast Car featured Citroen C2. Here are a few pics of it, followed by my new ride :) Please be kind ;)  :ashamed:

Anyway enough of that car. time for the new ride. As you can see i don't really do things by halfs. I went out and bought myself a Mk5 Golf GTI in candy white with a DSG gearbox. Love it soo much that i haven't even thought about missing the C2. Here's a few pictures... Picking it up..
