Evening all
« on: 01 December 2024, 18:36 »
Hi, just joined the site and saw the intro area, just saying hello! Been away from Golfs for a while, last one was a MK2 big bumper GTi. I’m now in a MK8 Clubsport and it’s fantastic, practical fast and drives lovely. I’ll probably be in the MK8 section asking some questions along the way. Nice to find a pretty active group / site that isn’t on Facebook these days, I’m too old for that now  :grin:

Thanks Exonian - In between I had all sorts of vehicles, some VAG (Other VW's and Seat's), as well as some fast Fords and Fiats. Before I decided to get into a Golf I looked at the Ford offerings and they aren't great these days, considered BMW's but couldn't find one I liked, I also toyed with an Alfa but wasn't sure about reliability - settled on a Golf and couldn't be happier with the Clubsport :smiley:
