Title: Good evening and welcome
Post by: big al on May 21, 2009, 08:01:47 pm
Hi all, been lurking on here for a week or 2, but finally got around to buying a MK5 GTI, off autotrader, pick it up later this week, cant wait,
Bit about me, been on golfgti forum for a short while, at the moment have a MK3 16V, had a Leon before that, Polo before that and a 72 beetle before that, so been into VW's for a while now,
Im 27, live in Wolverhampton, Married with 1 dog, and have been a police officer for around 2 years now, (before everyone boo's, im a fair police man, and only give tickets to complete morons!)
Loved the MK5 from day 1, and can't wait to update it, and spec it out nice and classily, first job, new gearstick, steering wheel and wheel refurb, or new wheels, whatever!!!

Thanks for the welcome, GREAT fun at work, at times, others its a nightmare.
Although we do seem to be chasing a lot of stolen GTI's lately, at least the thieves have taste.

Hi & welcome!

From a member of the forum who is much happier seeing more police on the road and fewer cameras.  :happy2:

....My preference is for the unmarked cars who invariably follow you for a few miles and consequently see how you are driving and use their discretion accordingly.

I find that most of the marked guys with laser guns don't exercise so much discretion although I have only encountered one who was relatively unfriendly.
