New Arrival....
« on: 12 December 2016, 23:49 »

Well actually I have had it since 25th November :whistle:

Golf GTD DSG with Parking pack in Deep Black Pearl

On the day I got it after a quick blast down to visit my parents:





After 4 days when I could no longer cope with how dirty it had gotten, so put it in for a handwash:



Fantastic piece of machinery.  Really comfortable, easy to drive and manoever.  My previous car was no slouch (Astra J CDTi Elite 165)  but this has it beat hands down.  Plus it swallows all my junk (wheelchair, crutches)  as well as the Astra ever did, and yet seems a bit smaller.

My only regret, if there is one, is that I had to take delivery in November.  Too cold for me to be out some days.  That said, it has 600 odd miles on it now :evil:

Looks great asm, Nogaros are a really good looking wheel, far too good to be standard! On a rather different note, looks like some stunning views in the background!

Thanks, yeah the wheels do set it off nicely.  The views are pretty epic, for a small seaside town, particularly in (cold) clear weather :smiley:

Thats because it wasnt being used  :grin:  Day #1 with the car...  Took me a while to get the hang of it, but I think I have it sussed now  :smiley:  The rear camera is brill.

Speaking of wheels....

Not sure I want to admit thiis but when out today at the post office, I was coming back to the car and about to try and open the door.  I looked down (I walk on crutches, so generally I look to see where my feet are going) and thought "wait a minute, those wheels don't look right... WTF!"

There was another soddding black golf parked behind me :rolleyes:  It was late, dark and I was tired from standing in the queue.

Lol

Reminds me of the time my dad got into an identical Volvo 340 parked next to ours in the 80's and drove it home... before realising he had the wrong car :grin: :grin:
