Finally figured out Photobucket I think. What a palaver it was, couldn't do it from my iphone so I had to do it from my iPad. I'm not really a fan of tech. Anyway I hope this works, photo of my car at the dealers. Roll on the 1st

Should it not have more protection on it? My last few cars were covered in plastic.



Looks awesome that does.. :cool:

So have you arranged a time for the 1st...? From memory there's 3 or 4 of us collecting.

I'm collecting straight after I've dropped my nipper at school. Only 19 sleeps to go :laugh:

Looks lovely.   Night Blue really suits the GTD. :cool:

Thanks, I really like night blue, when it is clean.

Yes I have arranged for 12 and only 18 nights to go now :laugh:

I was surprised by the difference in the exhaust note with the sound and sport pack. I didn't bother having a drive in it but did start it just to see what is sounded like. I know it is fake noise but as long as it takes away from the diesel noise I don't really care.

They had a clubsport(No.147) in silver in the showroom and it looked stunning. My wife spent about 2 hours last night trying to convince me to get a quote on it. After see the size of the boot in the Golf she is also wondering just how often we are going to run out of room as her car doesn't have a boot.

Sport & Sound is one of the best extra's you can add - I love it.  The only problem I foresee is that it isn't included in the Mk7.5 GTD as Standard or an Optional Extra - that's no good! :angry:

Thanks for the observation regarding the Sports & Sound I'm actually really looking forward to that option as I haven't heard how it really sounds in the flesh and the red brake calipers. I have red brake calipers on my 6 but I'm hoping the ones from the factory has better quality paint applied to it.

I'm also looking forward to keyless again, my last car(58 plate swift) had it and even after 5 years with the 6 I still get out of it and leave the bloody keys in the ignition  :grin:

I really need to clean my car this weekend (i've likely got a funeral to go to at the end of next week, and the car is a right clip externally), but the weather is so poor today.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....
