Title: New To The GTI Scene !
Post by: JakeGTI on April 17, 2012, 10:02:30 am: brought my first gti on saturday (my second car) after owning a mk5 fiesta zetec s for a year. although ive not driven it yet as i cant insure it till next month just being in the passenger seat on the way home with my dad driving put a huge smile on my face. needless to say hes been asking me for the keys to take it for a drive ever since. cant get pics up atm as im at college but asoon as i work out how to and im home ill get them straight up. its on a 05 dark grey, 53k paid 7500 for it which i didnt think was bad as its got exellent spec inc leather, vw fsh ect ect

advice and heads up on anything would be much appreciated

You've got some decent extras there like MFSW, leather and arm rest.
Enjoy it mate!
