What we have so far:
Welcome to the mk6 section, most of the posters are fairly sane and rational human beings but beware the trolls who hail from the bowels of the 'classic' Golf sections.
Please excuse the following members: Kev who will likely call you a poof if you drive a Diesel or an automatic and Asker who will drag you so far off topic you'll forget why you're here.
You may want to add a few more cautions.....
"Welcome to the Mk6 section. Whether you have a GTI, GTD, another Mk6, a Golf of any vintage or just a passing interest in VW's, we're happy to hear from you. Even if you just like cars or driving I'm sure your contribution will be met with positivity and enthusiasm. Hell, if you have no interest at all in cars and want to talk about your holiday, flower arranging or sexual preferences we'd be happy to listen - we have moderators to clear that sh*t up. Oh and we don't mind swearing either. Enjoy!"
''You are now in the mk6 forum, tread carefully or clear off''

Will this be a sticky?
Maybe a thread headed 'Newbie's, say Hello and introduce yourself to the regular crowd' etc etc....?
This could save many other newbie threads being posted dispersing other threads...?
