Title: What pays for your mk5?
Post by: AndyBrown on June 19, 2015, 07:21:49 am: Seen an interesting thread on Facebook the other day, what do you do to pay for your mk5?

And when I ever I see a nice car I always wonder what that person does for a living.

This is how I paid for my Edition 30...

And this is how I run it...

South east ambulance service. Technician at the moment for me hopefully start my degree in September.

But yes lots of over time to pay for my mods. Unfortunately I drive a tdi 105 currently. Was doing 40 miles each way to get to work before I got restating so would t have been able to afford running costs of a ed30!

But still enjoy changing my tdi up! That mk4 r32 ️
