Old boy newbie
« on: 05 July 2021, 15:11 »
Hi all,
I’m just waiting for the delivery of my new Golf Gti Mk8 in moonstone grey to arrive on Thursday after many years of wanting one. I’m almost 50 years old so thought what the hell. Your never too old.  😈
Everyone seems a friendly bunch on here and I’ll apologise now for when I ask a daft question. Lol.

Welcome to the forum Old boy newbie!

You may have to re-think your name though, we had a poll on the ages of members last year and 60% were in either the 46-54 or 55+ categories, so you are firmly amongst your age peers :laugh: And you are right, you are never too old :nerd:
