Title: Hello from a new GT TDI owner
Post by: Dan_J on July 19, 2012, 10:24:32 am: Hi everyone,

My names Dan, from Manchester.
I have recently purchased an 04 GT TDI to replace my dead Mazda (engine blew). I couldn't be more impressed with the car. Feels great to drive, pulls well, the paint is immaculate and I'm saving ridiculous money on fuel.
I've seen some great cars on here and after looking through many threads I've picked up a couple of modification ideas, but feel free to hit me with your suggestions!

Look forward to getting to know you guys!

Also new and looking to buy soon - think grey is becoming my preferred colour, although its a car that looks sweet in any (within reason!) colour!

Cars an 07 with 100,000 plus miles and is much cheaper to run than the wife ha ha!
