It's here!!! It's amazing, I love it, although I've only driven 8 miles home via the filling station (brimmed with Super courtesy of the dealer  :grin: )

Serious note, after the butterflies a couple of weeks ago just the drive home has reassured me spending this much on this car was the right choice, it's brilliant. Picture shortly...!

Sorry to bore people who have seen these countless times, but I'm proud of it  :laugh:







I think it looks fantastic...it turns heads everywhere! And even though I haven't been over about 3k revs it sounds brilliant.

Also, little things make you feel you're in a car that someone has cared about when it's been designed, the carpet in the door pockets, the neat little shelf in the glove box for the handbook, the bottle opener that holds your drinks in place, the magnetised flap on the leather handbook cover, the feel and look of the steering wheel, gas strut under the bonnet (a friend's Scirroco R just has the flimsy metal hook), the feel of the materials, the look of the dials, red calipers, the fact at 6-foot-8 I can get comfortable........I could go on!

I know some people have said on here that it's not up to the quality VW make out by charging so much, but first impressions are totally bang on.

Either way, I'm totally sold  :grin: Thanks for showing so much interest guys too...the Mk6 has been around a while and would have understood if no-one could be arsed with someone else coming along with one!

Going for VentureShielding tomorrow, pics of the job afterwards for those interested.

Yes I agree awesome! How could we possibly get bored of looking at a carbon grey ED35 it is  :cool: I also agree with your comments and have no complaints about the quality of the MK6's I have had. Don't sPend too much time looking at it and get out there and drive it as much as possible  :smiley: I wouldn't worry about driving it below 3k these need to driven normally out of the showroom but take care of the brakes for the first few hundred miles.

Thanks for the signature reminder Markey! It really is worth the wait...yours shouldn't be a million miles away now I'm guessing?!

Certainly am doing Edi35 (driving), was only being steady for the first 100 miles, will start adding more load now...it sounds glorious. :evil:
