Semi-noob from the US
« on: 27 March 2006, 20:48 »
Hi All,
I'm currently in the US (just outside NYC) and may be coming to the UK in the near future.
I've managed to put it off for a year already  :wink:
I have an '06 GLI (which has the specs of the MKV GTI with a boot) and an '02 B5 S4.
I'm planning on bringing the GLI with me if I do come. It's too new for me to sell (3 months) even if it's LHD.
This is my 5th VW/Audi and I was educated in Jamaica up to O Level when I made the switch to the US.
Looks like my initial residence will be either Chiswick or Egham.  I'm worrying about the car as I stress parking to avoid dents and dings.  So a garage or off street parking will be high on my list of priorities.
I've heard no good things about dealerships there, what are your thoughts on that?
I'm anal about service, maintenance (and detailing).  None of my cars are stock and all mods are thought out and tasteful.  No chrome (polished deep dish doesn't count  :smiley:) and oem plus does it for me.
I'll have auto related questions later on but I just wanted to introduce myself for now.

MK3 GLX VR6 5 speed

B5 S4 Twin Turbo 6 speed

MK5 GLI



Like I said, they look mostly stock.  But look at them as much as possible when their engines are off as all you'll be seeing on startup is their boots  :grin:

Aww shucks  :rolleyes:, they get me home (quickly).
The MkIII just got sold to make way for the MKV :cry:
Unfortunately the only old creaky thing  allowed in my driveway is me!  :smiley:
Not to mention that maintenance was killing me.  Everything started going after the extended warranty ran out.  I spent almost $1200 in one week. Grrrrrrrr.
