Default New Car

New car arrived on Tuesday. A friend of mine ordered it but due to circumstances and a very awkward dealer I ended up with it. Done 600 miles in it so far and i'm very impressed. Drinks alot of fuel with the average being 23.2mpg. Handles really well, and sounds really good. No real plans apart from a remap and a breather. Going to be the misses car and she loves it.



Will get some more pics soon

sick motor. seems dear on petrol. but then again i guess you can afford it. a remap and a proper induction kit would give you the edge over the r32's

Very nice!

I'd LOVE a white mk5 GTI with those polished telephone dial wheels, sitting on its ass

Nick as Benni said its not this Wednesday but the Wednesday after, the 4th Wednesday of the month. However, the Wednesday after, there is a meet where Performance Ford are coming down to feature, that will be a good one.

very nice, i too have a soft spot for white gti mk5 but i can't help but think the mk5 looks too big whenever i see one! therefore for me the mk4 r32 is more my cup of tea!
