Title: Hi from Kent
Post by: V2 FAN on February 08, 2014, 04:34:33 pm
Hi All

Been leeching on the forum for a couple of weeks now, initially I was looking for a GTI so thought I'd have a browse and see what was what.
Unfortunately I came across something called an Edition 30  :surprised: didn't know a thing about them !

After reading several posts I knew I had to have one  :pomppomp: so guess what  :jumpmove: :jumpmove: :jumpmove:

I bought one in the fastest colour Steel Grey  :P beautiful example with 45k on the clock.

I'm also into bikes owning both a Hayabusa and a Ducati.

Thanks for having me on board  :driver:

Hello.
welcome!

I like bikes too  :laugh:

I had a Street Triple R from new but had to sell it unfortunately for work purposes (to buy my old Mk5 actually!)  :rolleye:

Hey thanks for the welcome XJay  :happy2:

Always liked the street triples, great bike, I use the Busa for commuting not particularly great in this weather but I think I'll be using the new toy this week  :jumping: :jumpmove: :pomppomp:

Thanks Guys for the warm welcome.

As promised here are 2 quick pictures which I have just taken.

The car is totally standard with the exception of the small stubby ariel which I fitted yesterday.
If anybody needs a 'How to guide' then please chime in and I will do a tutorial  :signLOL:

Thanks XJay

I was fussy and took my time to find the cleanest model available, perhaps paid more than I should but the car is spotless and previously belonged to a mature owner, so totally standard albeit I'd like a stage 1  :party:
