Title: New guy from Fife
Post by: Hoggy on January 13, 2013, 08:57:08 am
Hi lads, just new here so figured I'd say hi.  :happy2:

I drive a MK5 R32 but I find myself using this forum a fair bit. Some really nice stuff on here!

Quick picture of my car (although it's currently sitting on Speedline Turinis)

Cheers mate. So that's where the username comes from! I work in Dunfermline so I'm used to pars chat!

The more I look at the photo the more I think about selling the Turini's and putting the standard wheels back on.

I love the job mate. Just tried to get into Tayside there back in the summer. Got to the final interview but no joy. Yeah, depending on what it is and the situation with fast jets in the air. We cover all the local RAF houses etc.

The .:R32 wheels suit her better mate. Do you notice a difference handling wise with the speed lines?

Welcome mate! I am also from based in Fife! Lovely car mate and must agree the r32 suits the original wheels! I would be interested in your speed lines for my Gti and I have sent you a PM about them!

Well they're certainly a lot lighter so they're bound to make a difference. Great wheels for brake clearance , OEM wheels I need a 10mm spacer to clear the Porsche brakes but these I don't need any. They just fill the arches perfectly.

That's a pisser mate, they gonna be recruiting before the merger? I'd heard that the new Scottish chief has put a freeze on recruitment for a while. Although I think we have a few going to Gullane soon. How will your job be affected when the RAF move out of luechars? Still Going to be the army that are taking it over?

I can't see them recruiting for a while either and that's the rumour at the moment. What's happening with leuchars is all up in the air at the moment also, we get told one thing then you hear another. Until I get a letter in my hand saying in out of a job I'm not too worried.

That's the best way mate. We hear rumours all the time but your always best to wait until its official. If I hear of any recruitment coming up I'll give you a shout.

Right, that's the Turini's of the car and ready to be sold.

Quick question tho, do you need a certain amount of posts to sell in the for sale cpsection on here?
