Title: Another New Guy
Post by: Marc-5-GTI on May 03, 2013, 05:09:22 pm

Hello! Just bought myself a (reflex?) silver GTI, chuffed to bits with it...

Anyway, I'm Marc, 20 years old from Cumbria.. Previously I've had two polos, the pic below is the one I've just sold..

My GTI is a DSG with the flappy paddles, I'm not too clued up on the golf yet so it's gonna be a learning curve, just though I'd make myself known, and here he is!
