Hello from Bath,

Well my first 24 hours of ownership have been quite something. After collecting the car from the garage after asking them to put some decent tyres on it before I paid, I then drove it home from the garage and got 2 fast punctures en route. I then abandoned the car overnight in a field after a failed attempt with tyre foam. Save on tyres then picked me up, we found the car and they saved the day and I'm back on the road!
After 9 years of lotus elan ownership I was hoping it may be a bit easier!

Anyway, looking forward to meeting you all in time.
For those that want to know its a Black 07 mk5 gti Dsg.

Cheers
Mike
