Title: Sup.... :)
Post by: Phil_H on February 12, 2015, 09:09:00 pm
Evening All, I'm Residing in Norfolk (I have no extra fingers and I'm married to someone who is not family)...Originally from Kent ;)

Quick intro...always forget to say high on forums :)

After 3 yrs of driving a Passat Diesel Estate (Grown up family car) I'm back in a Hot Hatch :)

35yrs old...still feel 18 though!

Various cars over the yrs, 1st car back in 1996 was a Mk1 3 Door Green L :)

Had loads Gti's...Mk1's to Mk3, skipped the Mk4 and just got myself a nice 55 plate BG.

Had to be Blue, 5dr and Leather, anything else was a bonus.

Not had a chance to give it a proper clean so apologies for the lack of photos...I did get the wheels done Graphite Grey today though, looks lovely with the Blue :)

Plans...

DSG Service
Nav
Panel Filter (Awaiting fitment)
DV & PCV (Awaiting collection for VW)
Full Service (I'm a qualified Mechanic so will do all but DSG myself)
Retro fit Cruise
Full Detail (Mates a detailer...so some sweet talking to do)
And lots of little OEM+ Touches.


Later

'89 Small bumper 1 owner with 265,000 miles on it. Eventually Stripped it out for the track, probably the only one I regret selling. Although I had 2 Campaign Mk1's in 2005 that I sold for less than 1k each...regret that for the money side of things more than the love of the car :)

1 of my Mk1's (Bought for £50 in 2004 would you believe!!!)
