Hi Lee, welcome to the forum. I saw your post on the day you made it and didn't respond for two reasons. 1 because I often reply only for the poster to never be heard of again and it gets a bit tedious. 2 because my usual politeness was overcome by jealousy!

This is a very friendly and welcoming forum but do bear in mind that there aren't as many regulars as there used to be (I think forums have more competition for people's attention these days), it has been particularly quiet on here of late and the non-mark specific sections have tended to draw far fewer comments.

I'm confident that should you post your thoughts on your Ed50 in the MK8 section you'll get some interest.

Oh, and my family are from Norfolk albeit west. Not been to Norwich for decades but seem to recall it being rather nice, especially the castle.

Oh dear  :grin:



Anyway, on the off chance Lee pops back in a break from social media posting - welcome aboard Lee!  :smiley:

And welcome back from your trip  :wink:

Unfortunately not a huge welcoming committee on here these days as the forum has died off massively in recent years. Social media has taken its toll with its glossy graphics and one liners.
I think Golfs, hot hatches and even car enthusiasm has taken a drop in interest with everyone and their dog wanting huge overweight SUV’s these days. Hey ho.
And maybe the fact the forum seems impossible to view thanks to a huge ad box puts people off until they find the hidden key as discovered by Watts.

Aside from that, it’s a lovely Ed50 you have there and in the most desirable spec  :cool:
