The plan is to get some development parts on it as soon as possible and head straight for 400+ bhp and a sub 12 second 1/4 mile run, but we'll see how it goes. :cool:

Looking forward to following the build  :smiley:

Just had a call from the dealer..... mine now showing as delivery to them week commencing 10th September  :smiley:



mmmmmmmmmmmm,,,,,thats a good picture and well chosen, the way it is parked, the way the wheels are angled out etc.

Problem is that is the only good angle and has helped to convince me to stay with the Golf.

A Golf Gti from the same angle is much better looking.

Most of the 1 series I have seen so far have been going past me at a rate of knots and its the angular ridge going all the way down the side and the less than pretty arse which has turned me off. Its just a mess.

Plus the horror stories concerning the OBD port / copying of keys and thefts of high end BMW's have not helped. I have had 4 cars stolen in the last 5 years and don't want to go there again.

So my GTi journey fom Mk1 to Mark 7 is going to continue, I am going to be around for a while longer, praising the virtues of the GTi.

Well mine is 3 year old at the end of December - 29th to be precise!!

I've just re-taxed it for 12 months as I've decided I'm going to keep it until at least March next year and possibly until June.
(As an aside my wife's 10 year old civic just cost her £170 to tax compared to my £120   :shocked: :smiley:)

By then I will see what the MkVII looks like, compare to the A3 and make a decision on my next car.

I walked back to it parked up yesterday (and the day before) and just couldn't fault the look - made me smile  :cool: (But then it is nice and clean at the mo!)

My friend has just paid over £800 tax on an new car.

His view is that this is just a cost he has to pay for the cars he likes to buy.

Still a lot of money.
